Here are a couple pics, sorry they're not the greatest. You can kind of get the idea. The carpet does cover the bottom lip of the cardboard firewall pads, and it's got a finished edge so it looks good too. I can take better pictures in a few days if no one else has some.

Insultion? Firewall insultion? Don't do it! You never want to insult your firewall!

Of course I know you meant insulation, just couldn't help myself... as usual

No problem, I'll take some better pictures this weekend. Anything else you'd like to see? Carpet, firewall pad, and double sided heatshield below the carpet all came from The Truck Shop.

As promised, here are better pics. The closest the edge of the carpet came to the edge of the firewall was over the low hump, about 1" overlap.

I put 4 coats of wet paint on a repro firewall cover. Came out better than I thought it would

Thanks! Good luck with your interior. FYI I bought a yard of carpet from an internet site to cover a speaker box behind my buckets and it matched my molded carpet color perfectly.

That's just funny right there ..
I didn't even notice that when I opened the thread
But it contained everything that I thought it would.
LOL .. from a guy that laughs at internet ad misspellings.
BTW ,nice interiors.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures during the build, wish I had. I built 3 mdf boxes - 1 behind each seat going from the recess in the cab corner to the outside of the driveline hump, 1 over the hump, all screwed together after install. The fronts angle from just in front of the old fuel tank mounts to the back of the cab below the window. The corners angle back to clear the door frames. All 3 boxes are bolted through the floor. The carpet has a little adhesive sprayed in the flat parts, the top and bottom are tucked around the box edges. The sub has a 1" spacer for clearance. The whole thing went together pretty easy.

C'mon man! You know you're supposed to picture and document EVERYTHING!!!

just kidding, I'm guilty of it myself. If the wife doesn't come out to take pictures, I won't have any pics myself!
