For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 419 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 419 | I cleaned up aand painted a '53 cab to replace the one that was damaged when the Blue Funk was hit by a Semi last year.
I had to scrape off a thick black substance from the toe pan area in order to clean and paint it.
I've looked through some parts catalogs and the closest thing I came up with was in Jim Carter's called a Hush Mat that you can peel and stick.
Would this be what I need in order to replace what was there?
If so, I figure I only need about four square feet of it, and the smallest amount Jim Carter sells it in is ten square feet.
Can this item be purchased at a FLAPS?

HushMat Ultra Starter Kit - Black #10150 - Item is available. USD$ 35.95 Qty:
I just need to make sure this is the stuff I need.

After dealing with paint flaking off the tar in the fender wells until I finally had to blast it, I'm not sure the next guy will like the idea when he starts removing it from the cab next time around.
Give me ambiguity or give me something else

They were about $30 for Foot Squares that came in a package of eight pads. They will do the same amount of area as what was originally on the toe pan and firewall with some left over.
Thanks for the sggestions. | | |
