I don't have pics, bt when I bought my 93 the carpet was originally gray and all stained n nasty lookin. Shampoo didn't work so I bought a 99 cent can of gray primer and went to town. Put on a thin coat so it doesn't clump together, but my wife even asked me if I had new carpet put in it. Smells for a day or so, but not too bad

If the carpet is in good shape clean it then use Duplicolor or VHT vinyl die. I used it on my entire interior and it worked great.

psh tear it out and roll on some bed liner, 100 times better than carpet

altho when i got my truck it was originally a fleet truck so it just had the drop in rubber mat

that duplicolor stuff doesnt work on carpet, it all flakes off wherever you touch it most. i used the same stuff on seats though and they look great.
