For the cab corners, I painted them inside with POR15, lined them with the same Frost King insulation, and made some sheet metal covers to enclose the openings. Its pretty simple to make covers. I just used some cardboard to make a template, cut the covers out of some 20 gage I got from Lowes. I bent them over my thigh to fit the curve of the opening, painted them black, and screwed them in place. I used some body seam sealer on the edges, then let the carpet drape around the corners of the cab to hide most of it. I'll try and grab some pictures later.

The covers and the carpet added another layer of sound deadening to the cab. Every little thing helps to get rid of the "tin can" noises of these bare cabs.
