Re: The Brown Truck
Thanks!!
Here's a progress update from tonight. My dad came to town for the weekend, and it made things more fun having someone else in the shop. We got the M/C and booster installed and the new brake lines run. We also kept plugging away at the sound deadening. |

Re: The Brown Truck
Here are some more pics of the sound deadening, and of the wiring harness. We made a lot of progress this weekend, I just need to order crimpers from American Autowire.

Re: The Brown Truck
Thanks Alan! It's coming along. I'm trying to keep my nose to the grindstone.

I ordered the special crimpers from AAW the other day, so hopefully I'll be back on track soon. It shouldn't be long before I have the interior ready, then I'll be probably waiting for the body again... |

Re: The Brown Truck
I thought I'd say a little about the sound deadening products I've been using. It is the Edead product line from Elemental Designs. I ended up using three different products. For most of the cab, I laid down two layers of 45 mil Edead butyl rubber deadening mat. (the 80 mil product was out of stock so I ended up installing two layers of the thinner mat). For the very contoured places, I used Edead V3 liquid sound deadening. I also ended up using the liquid on the back of the cab because I had extra left over and ran out of the mat. Both do a great job of keeping vibrations down. Finally everything will be covered with a high density foam mat that is designed to control higher frequency sounds.
Here's a picture of the three. I'm hoping that this effort will make for a nice quiet ride. |

Re: The Brown Truck
Will those products work for those of us that prefer a rubber mat over carpet?
Personally speaking, I would prefer to hose out my truck if water wasn't so damaging to the metal in my cab. Carpet is on my never use it list in my own trucks and since I brought it up, are there any suggestions for a vendor for a good high quality rubber floor mat for our trucks?

YES, by the way, I want a rubber mat that goes firewall to cab rear and can be held down by the sill plates on the sides. That would be perfect. In Arizona, carpet is baked fast then falls apart and holds in TONS of dust and dirt. I can wipe out and nasty stuff with a damp sponge if I have a rubber mat. Side note; One of the vendors I have ordered from recently phoned me to express their frustration with my returning things. Well, if it wasn't Asian made garbage it would be in my truck. The rubber mats I have ordered were thin crappy junk.

Re: The Brown Truck
My new radiator came in today. After a lot of deliberation, I decided to go with the one from Engineered Cooling Products over the Champion radiator. Both products seem to be similar, but one is a two row with 1" tubes and the Champion is a three row with smaller tubes. I doubt there is any difference between the two. The ECP radiator is advertised as having a bigger trans cooler than the others but who really knows. I'm pretty happy with the product. There are a few fins that are a bit tweaked but nothing major. It'll definitely make the engine compartment look nice.
Here's where I'm thinking of installing the auxiliary trans cooler. Hopefully it works out ok. It's a big unit, but I don't want to fool around when it comes to heat on my new transmission. I'm trying to keep it out of the way of the a/c condenser as much as possible. I'm open to suggestions as to other places to mount it if anyone has any. |

I found a full rubber mat that covers the firewall and the floor under the seat to the back of the cab, it is not a perfect match for stock but it let me have a rubber floor mat and install sound deadening and insulation. Kieth |
