Thumbs up 66 cab insulation

Hi Guys,
Spent several hours at the local pick & pull yesterday. The good news is I found an almost perfect fit for my roof insulation. LOL, couldn't find anything in the ford section, but if your looking, try the trunk liners out of a caddy, buick or honda. They are all pretty much the same size & shape. I chose the honda cus it had a thicker insulation backing on it. LOL, I had to struggle getting it in between the bow & the roof, but it fits beautifully. I'll have to piece in a couple of 6"x12" pieces on the back corners cuz of the shape but BOY what a difference.... . Keeps the heat out really nice.
Just thought I share.

Thanks for the good idea. I didn't even think trunk lid insulation would fit. How does it do with road noise?

Are you talking about the mat on the trunk floor or the cotton candy stuck to the trunk lid?

It helps cutting the road noise some, but most of the road noise will come from the floor, doors and windows.

You'll notice the roof noise reduction the next time you're in a heavy rain or hail storm.

I've already got insulation on the floors that I snagged from a truck in the junk yard. I've still got to do the doors and windows but I just don't have all that much noise that bothers me. I can hear my radio just fine..

This is the flat carpet type piece that covers the spare tire. The honda was the only one I saw that had a 1/2" of insulation attached to it. It's a really nice piece. I will try to get some pictures to put on my galley. I'll post it when I do.

guess since I've made a few changes to her I really should get the pic's in.
