Thumbs up Re : Cab Carpeting

I can't tell you much I like this ! not only the RED
but also the proper full length carpet to the back of the floor ~ until you try this once , you cannot possibly imagine how much noise reduction this affords .

Sadly , my '69 is a Work Rig so no carpets , they'd be ruined in a week .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Took my 67 for a little drive to a couple small towns when I was house hunting. Guess I did armour all the interior and cleaned the windows too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Drove around all winter with it like the first pic
It finally warmed up enough to get the creases out of the MIP floor so I forged ahead.

Second pic is the dynamat I installed
Third is with the floor in and trimed up to the best I could on my fist attempt

Last is with the seats and console in and ready to drive. Much better now

Post Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Drove home and did a routine LOF , I only missed the mileage by 168 miles , pretty good .

Whilst I was underneath with a 9/16" wrench in my hand , I tugged on some random fasteners and discovered the tranny cross member to frame bolts were loose boy howdy those things are close to the cab floor & hard to reach .

Tightened them up and noticed my forward cab mounts are shot , I think I'll try the urethane ones .

Then I decided to replace the leaky exhaust donut , I used a sintered steel one as the old fiber wrapped typ keeps leaking .

I had to loosen the whole exhaust to wiggle it forward about 1/8" before the head pipe entered the exhaust manifold's hole dead center ~ we'll see if that helped or it begins leaking again in two weeks .

Lotta hard works for an old man who's more beat up than the truck is =8-^ .

Damn, I feel stupid.
I had to look up "LOF" on Wikipedia.

I came home from a big trip across the pond to 90 degree weather. My headliner (on the truck, not my shoulders) came unglued while we were gone.

I'd backed the carpet I used with cardboard. So, I removed the cardboard and re-stuck the carpet without the backing this time.

We'll see if that will stick as the heat gets worse.

Exclamation Re: What did you do to your truck today!

NOT ' stupid ' ! I'm a Journeyman Mechanic and have been working on vehicles since I was in short pants , I tend to use the shop / dealer jargon all the time .

If the headliner comes loose again , there may be a fuel vent leak as the fumes are very rough on adhesives .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Time for a rear mounted tank and the glue will stick and you won't get brain damage from sniffing glue everytime you drive your truck

Not worried about the brain cells--lost most of those back in the 60's..but I cant have anything hurt my truck. Rear mounted gas tank sounds like the way to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got my new guage cluster in so they all are functional finally. Also put in a 70s radio back in the dash and ditched my aftermarket cd player that was mounted to the bottom of the dash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

It (the re-glued headliner) fell off again in the 90+ heat this afternoon.
No fuel leaks/vent leaks detected using my personal sniffer.

Anybody know who makes the best headliner/trim set up?

I already posted a WTB on the Forum.
