roll on bed liner on cab floor

[vcrazy8]

Has anyone used roll on bed liner on the cab floor to quieten it down? I am installin new carpet and have some roll on liner on hand that I never used. Did it work or did it have a strong smell? Thanks

I have seen it used, and plan on using it myself for the durability it will provide. It does dampen sound a minor amount, but that is not what it is about. If you want to quiet the cab, find sound deadening material. The beadliner stuff will mainly help the the durability and moisture resistant from the inside. I did not notice any smells attributed to the beadliner stuff when riding in these trucks, but I have not ridden in one that was freshly done either.

i plan to use hercu-liner when all the rust repair is done. at autozone right now they have 20 dollar rebate coupons you can mail to hercu-liner, because the autozone brand is much cheaper. herculiner gives you the roller brush etc, not just the can of liner like the autozone brand. your decision there.

bedliner seems to be the latest fad for truck floors although it has minimal sound deading ability , and poor insulating properties. it's a mess to work withm but it is getting cheaper with heafty rebates. if anything it will decrease the resale value of the vehicle that's just some of the reasons in my opinion not to use it

I looked into this as well. I found local Ziebart shops have a product for just this purpose and it is about half the price of traditional Rhino Lining.

Roll in bed liner isn't very thick, and doesn't deaden the sound very much. Also it doesn't smell after it's dried. Most of that stuff is a poly material and becomes a hard plastic when it's dried. I did the floor of my truck, not for the sound deadening as much as just to seal the floor. I sprayed mine in.

I've used POR15 to seal and protect the floor. It does that well. Sound deadening is another issue. Keep in mind that 90% of the cab is actually a tin can within another tin can, ie. it is double walled on the top, front, back and sides. To absorb sound you need the right material in the right places. Factory used rubber mats, foam insulation, and carpet padding. There are lots of products available but I prefer a foam carpet liner that you can lift up, I also like a heavy roofing shingle material (without the gravel) that you can cut and glue into key spots. Using a carpeting type material on the door panels, roof, tank cover, kick panels---will really quiet things down a lot. Good luck~~~Huck

I used a Hippo liner. Mainly because Torch red paint is way to pricey. I looks really nice and seals the epoxy primer that's unsealed/unfinished looking.. I also do not have enough cash for carpet and sill plates at the moment.

I used a Ice and Water Shield in my 84 . It made a huge diffirence. I was left over form a job so basically free.
