Well, I had planned on starting this job earlier, but my plans had got changed.
Funny thing, after waiting so long, I stumble upon some NICE foam to use for insulation.
It comes all glued together in different thickness of layers to fit some missile parts (thanks DAN!!!)
Funny part, they used GREEN glue between the layers of foam. So when I pulled the foam apart, I already had a nice green color to the foam I was going to use.
Oh yeah, the foam was free..... that always helps!
Anyways, I started pulling layers apart, and found two layers so far that will work perfect! One layer fits great for the hard top. It goes in panels and sits behind the little lips like it was made for this exact job.
The larger layer fits perfectly for the rear cab wall. It sits flush with the larger supports, and looks like it will do a great job.
I tried to get a 'press fit' on most pieces so they would stay still and work better.
I haven't finished yet, but I got some good progress done yesterday while I had a little time.
I need to pull the seats out to finish the cab walls, and I need to pull a few more layers of foam apart to finish the cab top.
I have some rubber/aluminum roofing stuff I will use behind the dash, then use this foam over that. But that means pulling the dash apart, and I have to move the truck around a bit, so I can get into that part of the project just yet.
Btw, Dan, I could use some more of this foam!
And I plan on making some canvas covers for the cab, kind of like how they used to do the old semi's, and like the 915 has. Except I am going to use canvas from some tents I have. So I will keep the full military theme going, while trying to tame the noise and mainly tame the temperature swings.
Anyways, here are a few pictures I took with my phone so you could get an idea of just how well this stuff fits in the cab! This would obviously work the same in a deuce as well.
