Thanks ya’all,
I pulled the pin and ordered a brown kit from DC.

Or you could order from these guys and get the ABS kit for the whole cab as well as the sound deadener and insulation as well.

I think I saw someplace that it's not a good idea to use spray foam on sheet metal, it traps moisture and rusts the metal. I could be wrong on that, but if you consider it you might want to do a lot of research first to make sure!

DC Headliner Arrived

I will add a couple more post as i proceed to install and evaluate the headliner.
My first impression is that Dennis Carpenter has s good deal going on shipping. No one else would ship these HUGE boxes for $14.99, not each but for both!!!!
I unpacked the headliner and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of a Made in USA product.
Its a bit rainy here so when i can roll Mater out i will begin installing the kit.

Ya they didn't show the process or what foam they used . There was only a short segment on them in the car contouring the foam . So yes allot of research would be needed . It just seemed like an interesting idea that I may look into if I ever get that far . lol

I used the dc headliner in my 48, pretty easy but very helpful to have a second set of hands for adjusting, get it out of the box so it can relax a bit inside the house
