I wonder at what stage in the assembly process the wood was installed at the factory. It is hard to believe there was any cost savings for GM by using wood instead of a metal pan.

While under the truck I started thinking that maybe they had to use wood to fulfill a contract obligation to a woodworking union. But sound deading is a good idea. It certainly is loud without any wood. And I haven't even left the driveway.
