sound deadening

I am considering putting a sound deadening liner in my 48 F3. I have the interior out at the moment, so now would be the time. As I google this I am seeing many options. Do you guys recommend any product over the others? Any drawbacks to doing this? How much do I need? Thanks for any input, Brian.

I started this thread a while back. Ther is a lot of good info, regarding many different materials. There are also several other threads covering this subject. Try searching, (upper right hand corner). You'll probably find just what you wanted.

Grace Ultra, a roofing product, is Dynamat without the foil and the high price. It is self adhesive and comes in a roll that will more than cover a truck cab. Give it a look .

Thanks for your input. I will check these suggestions. Also I did a search, but must not have used the correct wording because I didn't get anything good.

This is good info, I'd love to see some pics of how you guys finished off your floors, especially near the door edges. Having a 49, I can see creating something like a door sill will probably be necessary.

I finished mine with a readily available door sill. I believe it was for a 53/56 F-100

I used a product called RattleTrap found on eBay. Same product as Dynamat at a cheaper price. They include a sample of Dynamat when you order to compare for yourself. I used 75 sq ft which provided enough to cover the roof, back wall, B-pillars, entire floor as high up the firewall as I could, both doors inside and out. Difference in road noise was immediately noted, as was a cooler cab. I will still be adding a padded insulator before attaching my inner abs panels. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I found the information in this series of threads helpful from this guy here on FTE.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...rself-diy.html

Sometimes the other forums have good info for us classic truck guys. I have not made a decision nor purchased sound deadener and insulation for my truck yet.
