I'd be interested in hearing the experience anyone has had with the various "enhanced" cab insulation products out there, either under the headliner, for the floor, or otherwise. I'm going to start putting my '74 F100 Custom back together soon and, while I want it to look as original as possible, I'm not opposed to improving the climate and noise levels with things that cannot be seen.
I got this kit below to put under a new vinyl floor. Heat Shield kit 1 piece. The vinyl floor did NOT go completely back under the seat or down the sides of the seat. I covered that area under the seat and the side areas with carpet. https://www.lmctruck.com/interior/ca...at-shield-kits
And put this stuff on the inside of the door skin, under side of the roof panel. I also used this product to level out the low spots in the heat shield around the 4 spd trans area to prevent low spots. And did the back wall (indentions), then covered it all with carpet.

I did full-cab insulation and deadening. Kill mat (cheap dyna-mat) on the firewall, floor, rear wall, doors, 2 layers on roof. I also did bubble foil and pad on the roof. HUGE difference.
The 4 layers on the roof really cut down on the heat baking my head in 120* AZ sun.
I just did my 1976 supercab over. My truck is much quitter than it ever was in 1976. Heat and A/C are fantastic. Had to make a new head liner backer board because there are no aftermarket products for a supercab. I ordered a piece of 3/16x60x60 birch plywood from Roberts plywood. Glued the headliner fabric to one side of the plywood and new jute backing to the other side. Installed the KilMat to the entire roof, side/back walls, floor and up the firewall. New jute backing on the three wall panels. Also installed 2 sheets of the kilmat each of the inside of outer door skins. In addition I use the kilmat between the door panels and inner door skins. I also installed the later model upper door seals. Finally I installed new carpet with the mass backing. I'm so glad that took all of these steps just need to get rid of the vent window whistle
I did the same thing as smoky. Great results. The doors close with a nice solid “thud” now as opposed to our ‘76 which clangs and rattles for a second or two after closing the doors. You can also hear your passenger talk on the interstate or listen to the radio at less than full volume.
