Dis n Dat Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Sorry about that, here's a couple more. Had a hard time squeezing the camera in there, but hopefully this gives a better idea. Looking up from the gas pedal Pulling cable with gas pedal slightly depressed Quote Link to comment
Dis n Dat Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Started working on the floor. The vinyl covering was cracked and broken, but luckily the floor didn't have any serious rust. Only a little bit of rust behind the pedals, and a quick sand took it all off. For sound proofing, I used Frost King duct insulation. There is a lot of info about using it as a vibration dampener on other forums, with a lot of mixed reviews. Some folks say it works nearly as well as DynaMat, or similar products. I personally don't believe that, but I do believe that it will help a little bit, and the price was right. I was able to cover the floor and door panels for under $40 (2 rolls @ ~$19 each), with a little left over for doubling up in certain areas. I'm going to be putting carpet over it anyways, and that should help a bit too. Floor all sanded and cleaned, ready for insulation Duct insulation installed Also made some speaker boxes for under the seats, as I wanted to keep the door panels looking clean. Carpet is going in today (hopefully), will have some pictures soon. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Your door panels are already cut, and if they are in the doors you will be able to hear the music better. Quote Link to comment
Dis n Dat Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Been staying busy with the carpet and panels and such. I have a handful of pictures for show-and-tell: Carpet in. It doesn't cover completely (it was for a different truck), but close enough. Some old floor mats cut to fit cover the rest. Panels all finished and insulated to keep from vibrating against the metal. Need a few more pins. I was planning on keeping the radio that was in already (not stock, but a classic look still), but the tuner didn't work and cassette player was pretty spotty as well. Took it apart and decided that it was beyond my abilities to fix. Installed a Sony multimedia player (no CD player, keeps the unit much shallower). Without a CD player, this is shallow enough to fit without hitting the heater behind. Had to cut the dash a bit. Installed. I put a little bead of sealant around the face (not pictured) to keep it looking clean, and prevent any little movements. All back together and cleaned. Old floor-mats hide the most of the areas not covered by carpet. Started some lumber racks as well. 1 Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Awesome little daily use truck. You're doin it right. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dis n Dat Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Finished up the lumber racks: Still waiting for the door rubber the get in, but other than that I'm pretty happy with the progress on the truck. I think I'm more or less finished with little upgrades for now, time for this little work truck to get busy actually working. Sometime in the distant future I imagine a motor swap will be happening, but with everything working so well now I'm not in a huge rush. Quote Link to comment
