1950? S-10 tdi

I put the cab back on the frame and prepped the inside for Lizard skin insulation. I have used this stuff before and it works very good. So on Sunday I sprayed and today I took the masking off. I learnt last time to mask everything you don't want it on because it splatters out of the gun quite a bit.

Got the fuel tank back from the Rad shop that I had clean it out and check for leaks. Before I sent it in I added the return at the top of the tank with a tube that goes 3/4 of the way down. Then I painted it the color that the inside is going, platinum gray.

Have you ever tried this stuff? FlexSeal

I have not used it, but it looks like it might be a good for inside doors, cab corners, and the firewall for heat and noise insulation.

Thanks. It helps the tank was in good shape to start with.

In this truck I just used the temp stuff, my other truck I used both, they work very good. Keeps a lot of the heat from the motor and sun out. The sound makes the cab feel very solid. I put both inside, with a gallon you can do floor, fire wall, back of cab and roof. It also adds a waterproof layer, I also just sprayed the temp stuff in my sons Jeep CJ6

I'm not sure how much temp control it will do the Lizard skin temp control has little ceramic balls mixed in, but if you put a good layer of that stuff on it should add some sound insulation.

Today I did a few little things, but my trans cooler came in so I got it tacked in before I had to go to work. It's a Derale 16 pass with a 10" fan. I tried a few spots behind the cab and thought this should give some air flow while driving.

Saturday my son and I painted the interior of Darel, Platinum gray. Turned out really nice. Dash, front of seat riser, door jams, back of cab.
