I love the way you did the roof, would you pull it off just to add the dynamat?? I would love to do that to my truck, alot of work.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

I will let you know if I would after I finish welding up the spot welds, started tonight.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

Before you started welding up the rocker in its final location you put the door on for mock up right?
Had ta ask.

Rockers look great.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

I didn't the first time but this time with these rockers I will.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

Nice work!!!! Just read your build and like the roof repair.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

Thanks, one more thing off the list also.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

We used 2 different products when we did the cab of my 66 GMC.

1. Roof repair product, made from butyl rubber with adhesive and a foil top overlay. (just like dynamat)----cannot remember the brand but it was in the roofing section of the store...

2. over that we placed duct insulation (frigiking) closed cell foam with adhesive plus foil top.

The first product just killed all the rattling and boom of the cab, then the top cover of the insulation kept all the heat out and helped with noise. I think the cost was for both products ($1.25 per square foot total of 2.50 per ft.) we also sprayed the underside of the cab with black a 3m product that kind of looked like asphalt and it remained soft for a while. All in all a much quieter truck with great heat and cold resistance.... and no smell 2 years later with 13,000 miles on the truck


here are some pictures:

hard to see but it is 2 layers, each layer had the seams covered with silver tape before covering with the final layer of insulation. Kieth

Looks like the metal work is coming along nicely.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

well how did the roof repair go?? any updates??

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

It's done, I am just cleaning up the welds, then going to strip it and primer the whole cab again.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

looks really good, question did you use the nuts to hole down the skin when you welded it in, or are they just up there?? just wondering cause they look to find in the lip groove pretty good!

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

Yeah, my vice grips wouldn't fit in there.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

Nice job.

Frame porn, changed my valve covers over so they were on the correct side also. I ordered up an aluminized exhaust system so it should be here late this week and on it goes.

Re: LT1 Burbs 65 Stock SW Build
 

That looks awesome. Hopefully I will have my frame looking similar by the end of the year.
