Step 2 Insulating almost done !

[bob270win]

Coming down the home stretch. Just some small things to do to top off the cab insulation. This product "Zilla Mat" is so sweet to work with ! And you can even paint it ! What do you think. Gotta work on the over spray a bit. But it's where you're not going to see it. The Zilla mat made such a difference with the noise level in the cab . The truck sounds more solid , definitely worth the effort !

Looks nice and clean.. way to go! BTW how did you go about going around the hatch for the M/C?

bob270win how many Sq ft did it take for the cab?

 

[bob270win]

I had to patch around the m/c access and cover that as well . it was easy enough to do .The access opens up and there is the master cylinder ! I bought Zilla's 50 sq ft roll of 80 mil product. I would have to say I still have around 5 sq ft left on the roll. That's just a guess , I'm too lazy to go out in the garage and pull the remaining product out of the box right now !

I am impressed. Thats the cleanest Deuce interior I have seen yet. Good Job..!

Where did you get the rubber for the floor....? I saw an ad somewhere for a 50' roll.

 

[bob270win]

THe rubber on the floor is just a stall mat. I got that at a local feed store. It came as a 4' x 6' size . It's 1/2" thick and really sturdy. I think it cost around $60 . Dont know if you saw previous post the insulating mat is made by " Zilla Mat " . Google it to get to their website !

[bob270win]

Mark , I got the Zilla Mat direct from them . Their website is www.zillamat.com They have 2 different thickness in their products. The one I used is 80mil and I think their other is a 50mil mat......Bob

Nice job, does it make a big difference on the tranny noise?

 

[bob270win]

Overall the engine & tranny noise is definitely more subdued . Since I don't have db meter I can't give you exact numbers but there is quite a difference ! And the combo of the Zillamat and the rubber floormat I'm not cooking the bottom of my feet anymore !

 

[Woodsplinter]

Good job- thanks for the updates Bob!
I'll post mine shortly as I get farther along.

So the feet don't burn, good thing, has it reduced the overall cab heat from engine?
Being your in Tucson and all

 

[bob270win]

There is definitely a reduction in cab heat . Noticeable even more when I fix the driver door window . The windshield and passenger door window molding is all in good condition. Only problem is the driver door window ( needs a new regulator ) Let you know how things go !

I put a ball-gag on my trannys to keep them quiet!

Now that's funny!!

Rofl!!

 

[Woodsplinter]

Bob- my windows flop back & forth like crazy when the doors are open. Is that normal- do they only "tighten up" when closed? Anybody?

 

[bob270win]

Mark, my driver window is bad , to the point there are gaps around the window and door frame . My passenger window is tight ,no seepimg around that one. I guess something that's 40 years old needs a little TLC and some new parts .

All the ones I've been around have done that.
