The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks anybody have pics of interior of their trucks?

I have been searching all over for some interior pictures to get some ideas but they are very hard to find. I would really like to see some headliners and door panel coverings to quiet down the cab.

noise suppression is invisible, it's inside the doors, behind the firewall pad, under the headliner, behind the seat - upholstery might help a bit, but not much .... most folks use something like the pricey DynaMat, or the foil covered bubble pak insulation or stuff from a builders supply like Peel N Seal

Covering the metal inside will stop it from sounding like your in a tin can when you talk. I know it sure helped my '72 I had when I was younger. Do you have more pics of dash and headliner in your truck? The ones of the shifter look nice.

"most folks use something like the pricey DynaMat, or the foil covered bubble pak insulation or stuff from a builders supply like Peel N Seal"
Please don't use "peel and Seal" type home building products in your truck. IF, big If here, your truck were to catch fire, you would not die from burning, you be dead from the noxious fumes from the Peel and Seal. There are less expensive alternatives to Dynamat that ARE meant for automotive applications. Do some internet research on the subject and you shall become enlightened. Saving a buck on your ride may make for an expensive and untimely expenditure on a coffin.

Raammat is a quality alternative with a budget price. I bought a roll for my truck and still have a bunch left after doing the whole truck.

This is mine.

Like was said, inside the doors is invisible.

k10 - do you really think the butyl and vinyl in your preferred product would create no, or even less, toxic fumes in a fire than rubberized asphaltic products like peel n seal? gimme a break - if fumes from a vehicle fire is a big concern better start stripping out all the wiring and upholstery, not to mention the paint

my preference for basic sound deadening and condensation prevention, from similar materials, and which is now being used in virtually all new building construction around here .... please make sure you don't wind up in a house or a vehicle fire

Escaping a house fire is paramount, to one's survival, just as escaping an automobile fire is paramount, to one's survival. Peel-n-Seal is approved for home building applicatons, therefore has passed some rigorous ANSI and flame-spread testing criteria. If you are still inside the truck, by the time the noxious fumes are emitted from ignition of the fuel, upholstery, rubber mat, factory asphalt-impregnated sound deadener, wiring insulation, firewall pad, etc., you are long gone, before the Peel-N-Seal has ignited and began emitting toxic fumes.

I did the interior of a '66 Chevy K10 a year ago and to test the odor myth, I put a small area heater in the cab of the truck, with the windows, wing windows and vents closed for three days straight. Not only did the Peel-N-Seal not emit any foul odors, it was still firmly stuck, where I put it, without exception. The factory asphalt-impregnated sound deadening found on the floor of these trucks, is thicker and most assuredly more toxic, than the modern-day products, that have replaced them.

I find the orchestrators of these so-called tests and product challenges & reviews, are the manufacturer's of the competing products, to make their products look better and the competitor's products inferior, therefore they can charge exhorbitant prices, and feel good about doing so!

Here's a photo of the interior of my truck. The only added insulation in mine is some 3M Body Schutz sprayed in the doors. The upholstery provides very little in the way of heat or cool insulation, but it did eliminate the tinny sound of the metal cab:

those all have some good stuff in them thanks for the pictures. Ill put some more of mine on there someday. I ordered a tach dash with an air gauge on it. It should work good for air bags and look really good.

What Tony said is more of the truth than anything anyone else has even thought of saying. Make your "stuff' look good by running down the competition. What these folks fail to realize is that when they are throwing dirt on one guy, they are losing ground themselves. Fires are going to kill if you decide to sit around long enough. Personally. if I start smelling something hinky and there is smoke(other than my cigarettes)I'm gonna be for bailing and grabbing the fire extinquisher(yes I have one in my cab). Lots of different products to get the job done, and it's OK to save a buck or two. To each their own.

I went with foil type bubble insulation on the floor and rear wall. The fire wall I purchased a pre cut pad for. Then I put down the ultra plush carpet with the mass backing. I covered the floor, door bottoms, front kick panels and behind the seat (in front of the tank).

Not only was I concerned with sound, but keeping the cab cool in the heat. On 95 degree days we have to turn down the A/C fan ‘cause it gets too cold.

Here’s where I got my carpet – and it fit like a glove.
