I was starting to strip my cab out. I started to wander if they used asbestos in the insulation in vehicles. I have a 53 chevy half ton.

no - there wasn't any "insulation", just a bit of felt or jute for sound deadening and tar impregnated paper to stop condensation drippin on yer head

Asbestos is your friend. I mean, you can make yourself a fire proof shirt.

Fire proof socks.
Fire proof gloves, just like super Dave Osborn. All you will need then, is some genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings for seat belts.

Rodents bring thier own insulation up the pillars when making an AD truck cozy. Wear a mask as old mouse turds have potential to do more harm to you than asbestos.
