As anyone insulated the cabs of these trucks?

I'm thinking I could buy some of that heat/ sound insulation sheets and roll some inside the doors and roof to help keep the truck cool in the summer.

Anyone done it?

 

Lots of people are using dynamat sound deadening material. There's a lot of other brands that are the same thing but that's just one of the bigger brands. I'll be using it in the cabs of all my cars and trucks during there builds it really helps cut down road noise and rattle.

 

I'd be doing it for a heat barrier more than sound. It gets hotter than a goats *** in a pepper patch around here.

 

It's made to help Keep engine and exhaust heat out to and reflect it so i'm sure some product along these lines is what your after. Just read up on there websites to see what applications they all are for.

 

look up EZ-cool on ebay.

 

EZ-cool it is! Now I just need to measure out how much I need. I think the 4x10 roll would be plenty.

 

Oh man. I'm late to the party and was gonna suggest FatMat for sound insulation: Sound Deadener Products FatMat Dynamat Xtreme Alternative | FatMat Sound Control

 

I need a triple layer of sound deadening in my ol boy. Wind noise is over the top.

Has anyone used any of these products listed? Would like to hear some feedback on them. Got to decide which would be best for my truck and cars

 

Did 1970 Custom cabs (a standard cab)come with any insulation above the headliner originally? I would like to know so if they did not come with insulation then I would like to put some in.

 

I remember some time ago another member said he found a good alternative to dynamat at Home Depot that was much cheaper. I cant remember the name at HD but i went there and found it fairly easy.

 

Peel and Seal.

I've though about using it, but I've heard it smells like tar sometimes in the summer when it's hot. Also heard, you should only stick it to horizontal surfaces because in the summer heat it can release from the vertical surfaces. You should use a real sound deading product that is designed to stay stuck in the heat for those surfaces.

EDIT:
On the EZCool are you supposed to glue that down with something or just lay it on the floor? Also how would you do the doors with it? If the doors are even possible.

 

Window fuzzies, window channel and door seal are your biggest eliminators of wind noise. I did those on my 86 Toyota PU and it was night and day. I could actually hear myself think for a change. Sound deadening is for road noise not transmitted through the suspension like knobby tires on pavement vs hitting a pothole.

 

I've used Raammat from Raam Audio and I like it.

 

I have used and would use 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to bond any insulation. Horizontal,vertical, up-side down. Whatever. The stuff is awesome.
