Quiet cab ideas
 
I am wanting to get my cab as quiet as possible, minimal road and wind noise, any ideas?

Dynamat or alternative.

Rhino lining if you want more rugged.

New window seals to keep noise out.

Full interior.=, and dynamat to this would be the best.

Even having the higher end interior trim,Silverado or Sierra Classic with full carpet will make a difference.Just got an 86 K25 with 6.2.it had SierraClassic trim,full carpet,door carpet & head liner,it's WAY quieter than my 82 K25 6.2 with just rubber floor mat.I forgot what it was like to hear the radio on a gravel road!!

^^^ya, those just rubber floormat trucks are way loud!
some good idea's here, you should check out SOUND DEADNER SHOWDOWN, alot of good info on quieting down trucks, i just installed peel n stik sound deadner & mass loaded vinyl in my truck. have'nt had it on the road yet, but just running it & it's unbelivable the difference. can talk in a normal tone, stereo sounds like it has another amp & sub in it. totally happy with it so far

Put sound deadener on the floor, firewall, backwall and in the doors. Over the sound deadener on the floor some under carpet material and you carpet. This way you should notice a big difference.

New window and door seals also helps.

the extra inside stuff sure helps but maybe some early inner door seals
