Sound proofing interior

My 1980 F100 Ranger came with no headliner. I put KilMat on entire cab and carpet with backing and it made a world of difference. I can find headliners but I want the trim that covers from roof down to floor, behind the seat and corners. I know some trucks came with this trim but can't locate any replacements. I saw this replacement on a website once, I think, but wasn't looking for that at the time. I have a cowhide I would like to stick up there but not sure if glue would stick to KilMat. Short screws would work but I know nothing about upholstery. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Good luck no one makes the trim pieces anymore for the interior. LMC used to sell the windshield pillar trim pieces for with and without headliner, I didn't buy them then for my truck and they don't have them anymore.

Maybe LMC will start making more parts like that cause I did hear LMC thinks our trucks are the next big market. But I wouldn't hold my breath though on it being as high of quality as Dennis-Carpenter's stuff.

What you will have to do is browse on ebay and try and find a used set. That's what we had to do for the seat belt covers as our customer actually threw his away cause he told LMC to send him everything they have for his truck as he was having us do a restomod. They are on ebay but they aren't on there a whole lot.

On the sound deadner I found a company that makes the original spray on sound and thermal barrier that you spray on 3mil thick and can be sanded smooth and painted over. I planned on using it on my truck as I don't have a headliner and have no desire to try and hunt down parts to put one in my truck.

Lots of people think Lizard Skin from eastwood but that is a two part sound/thermal barrier that you have to spray down in two separate layers at 3 mil thick per layer.

I actually found the company that originally created the sound/thermal barrier that lizard skin ripped it off from, theirs is a all in one sound/thermal barrier you spray 3 mil thick and it can be used as a bed liner as well if need be. its also cheaper than lizard skin.

Name of the place is Cool Car Ceramic and their website is http://www.coolcarceramic.com/

Website is currently down but I noticed a lot of websites are down since this virus has hit. If you do a search for them you can see in the description on google states its $150 for a 2 gallon bucket where as Lizard Skin knock off is $217 for a 2 gallon pail of their sound barrier and then another $120 for a 1 gallon pail of their thermal barrier. I suspect you will need to get two of them so you are looking at $240 for 2 gallons of thermal barrier and $217 for 2 gallons of sound barrier for a total of $457 compared to $150 for a 2 gallon pail of the original product from Cool Car Ceramic.
