A friend highly suggested installing Dynamat. With regards to originality is it worth it? I know these trucks are tin canny by nature but I'm not really feeling it. My truck is mostly original except for the rally wheels and the color. Any thoughts? I could see if the truck was going to be going at high speeds on the highway with a 700R4 and V8 but with a 230 I6 and 4spd trans I don't imagine myself doing enough speed on the highway to cause much road noise LOL. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 31 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2015 Posts: 31 | In my experience, it makes the truck a lot more comfortable regardless of the speed you travel. Dynamat is the best brand, but you can use some of the other brands which are quite a bit cheaper with very good results. The name of the brand I am currently using escapes me. I will look at it in the near future & post it.

If the answer is yes I wouldn't spend the money on Dynamat. I'm a windows down kind of guy. I installed some factory oem style sound deadening material (from The Truck and Car Shop) under the carpet on my '65... good enough. Hope that helps  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,518 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,518 | John, really enjoyed reading your 65 build. You are a talented man.

Steve Thanks Steve. Just sold the '65 to a fella in New Zealand. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,084 | No highjack here guys, just a quick digression if I may...but agree with Steve very nice work John. I drove a hot rodded 65/66 stepside in highschool, before they were cool, but it was all we had. Have a few questions
1) Would you change anything on your lift?
2) How do keep your shop so clean doing all that Fab and Body work in there? I get very fine metal "dust" everywhere from grinding and the chop saw, not to mention sanding filler.
3) Would you make your next project an AD truck so is us AD guys can learn a trick to two?

Bill The name of the brand I am using currently is FatMat, it is a little thinner than Dynamat but it is a lot less expensive. It was available on Ebay when I bought mine. There is a difference after installing it.

It went on easy. There was a noticeable decrease in noise. I also placed some in material inside the doors to help with the noise.

Works great and really inexpensive. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 124 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 124 | Thanks for the input guys. Was going to look into the peel and seal or reflectix from home depot or lowes but ended up ordering the GTMat off amazon for a very decent price. I opted for the 80mil stuff so it should be very close to the brand name stuff as far as effectiveness. Has lots of good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/GTMAT-Automot...r=1-2-fkmr0&keywords=gtmat+80mil+50s | | |
