Re: The "Hoopty Jr" Project
Decided to start changing out the heater core for Jr. (last weekend) May I add I thought the 70 was a pain, but crud this one really stunk stunk. I ended up having to drop the inner fender (of course the bolts had to be cut off). And of course some of the hold down bolts snapped off.
Got it all out, cleaned up. Made some new bolts to hold the core in and replaced all the dry rotted vacuum tubes. I figured I had it out, I would go ahead and insulate the cab while I had it all torn apart.
Since others have mentioned it worked well for them, I made a trip to Lowe's and got the Peal & Seal stuff. I ended up using a bit more than 4 rolls, but it was layered on double on the firewall and floorboards.
It was my first time doing this stuff and I think it came out OK. Make the mountings for my speakers and trial fitting the new seat belts (from a 94).
I plan on making a back panel to cover the rear of the cab while I wait for the carpet/padding/regular insulation to show up.
I may not know what to do with Jr not sounding like a tin can.
