Dynamat the Cab......
Has anyone put dynamat in the cab of their 67-72 c10's?? If so, where?? and did it make that big of difference??
Thanks Brett |
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
It makes a huge difference. As for "where" that is debatable. What do you want it for? If it is to quiet the cab, put it everywhere basically. If you want to quiet rattles, I just ran a strip on the inside of the door panel.
I used Peel and Seal. Not as good for sure, but it works well enough for me. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...4-09161244.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...3-01123337.jpg |

You can never over-do dynomat... I havent done my C10 yet but I plan on doing everything possible. If you have the cash.... do it ALL.
I have an 08 tundra crewmax that I put 2 12"s in and I took the time to dynomat everything. All 4 doors, floor, roof, back wall, and anything else I could cover. I use-to work for a car stereo place a while back and I got hooked on dynomat.... Im a firm believer in it. Its worth taking the time and cash to do it right. |

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
If youre wanting to get the inside of the cab quiet dont just do layer after layer of peel n seal/dynamat or the like. What you wanna do is use a mass loading vinyl. Read a little over this website www.sounddeadenershowdown.com, layers upon layers of sound deadener to reduce noise is really an outdated idea as well as expensive.

I called them looking for something, he asked what it was for and was excited to help (he has a '55 Chevy truck). He gave me enough to cover everything and because it wasn't enough for anything he does, he just gave it to me. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...6-19090612.jpg |

Still fighting with myself on the amp(s) and subs. I change my mind daily at this rate. I think it will come down to what is on the market when I have the cash available. Had I pulled the trigger on a pair of old school Planet Audio tube amps a few weeks ago, this would not be an issue today. The other issue is NOBODY has shallow mount subs mounted to hear in person. The Kenwoods got the best overall review and the price is right. But I want to hear them first. |
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
My steering wheel should be on the way, I'm stoked. I have a feeling it is going to be as much work (if not more) than the seats were, but if it works, oh man...
Still need to locate a horn button, but I've been looking for one of those almost as long as I was looking for the wheel. :lol: |
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
Apply Dynamat to everything that wont be visible! Inside doors, firewall, back wall, if you can reach it stick it on. Dont leave gaps, and tape the seams. If you dont tape it, it will deposit gooey black nasty on everything it touches.
I shot mine with Al's liner, then dyna mat. Next truck I do will be shot with lizard skin then dyna mat, for better insulation. The stuff is not cheap, but well worth it. |

Dynamat everywhere. Especially use it on the single layer steel. The inside of a truck cab is like a hollow drum. The aluminum tape home depot sells works great for the dynamat seam. Just be careful with the tape. Once its stuck down dont plan on taking it off without tearing stuff up.

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I used 50 sq ft of FatMat in the cab of my 69.

Fat Mat is the way to go. 1/2 the cost of Dynamat and performs great!

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
100 square feet will cover your crew cab and inside your doors.

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I went to Home Depot (in the roofing section) bought some butyl rubber backed with aluminum--it already had peel and stick adhesive on it, cost about $1.25 per sq foot then topped it off with closed cell foam insulation that had adhesive and aluminum backing, my truck is as quiet as a church mouse and it does not go dumb dumb dumb......cost $2.50 per sq ft total.
http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...752_U7LmV-A-LB The insulation was for duct work and the butyl rubber aluminum backed material was for roof repairs around vents.....it worked great and cost a whole lot less. :gmc2: we even did the inside of the doors http://kieth.smugmug.com/Trucks/66-G...8_gTsgqzj-A-LB |

I have a mat and carpet in now and don't smell a thing. My cab is dead quiet now, it's awesome. |
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I planned to put down dynamat to improve the engine rattle and speakers sound. I am curious if you can put rhino liner down on top of dynamat or is there a better way to get the benefit of sound proofing and the muddy boots and floor protection you get from rhino liner?

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
If you're looking to spray something like a Rhino liner down, I'd try the lizard skin product...it looks just like rhino liner after sprayed and also sound deadens so there'd be no need for a matt product. They have a thermo one too I believe. You can paint over it as well after you're done...

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I have built streetrods for 25 years and I go to lowes and get the rolls of silver insulation and 3m spray glue and cut and cover the entire floor,cowl,roof etc Easy to work with and not too expensive

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
And that works at quieting the cars

quiets and keeps out engine heat

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
Thought I would pass this along , I buy rolls of this same type product from a company called insulation 4 less. It's a 1/8" foam product sandwiched between foil , it's has much better insulating qualities and easier to work with.
It's also much cheaper per square ft . I took a sheetmetal box and lined it with this stuff , put it in direct sun lite for 2 hrs. The out side air temp was 90 that day , the surface temp of the metal box was about 120 and the inside temp stayed at 70 . So this stuff does great at what it's made for. |
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I used dynamat on my cab and it does help but dont expect miracles, biggest problem with these truck is the side glass isnt flush to the body like most modern cars and wind buffeting will always be a issue. Also, dynamat is a damper and while it quits panels down it DOES NOT block or absorb sound so it needs to be used with a barrier and a absorber for best effects. Also, although it cant hurt, there is no reason to completely cover a panel w/ dynamat, you only need enough to weigh the panel down.

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
I am currently doing my cab with the above picture of Peel and seal. So far I am really happy with it. Goes on easy and deadens the ping when you tap on metal to more of a thug. Good stuff and it's 14 bucks for a 6" by 25 foot roll. I figure 6 rolls will be able to all of my cab and doors.
|
Re: Dynamat the Cab......
The sound in the doors alone was so worth it. When the door shuts, it sounds like a new truck. Solid, no rattle, and the cab is so quiet. At least until the stereo goes in. :lol:

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
So I picked up a new ride (63 Nova)...and I'm going to try out the Peel & Seal with this one. This will be my DD once road worthy, so I'm trying to cut corners everywhere I can. Just curious on the barrier part...I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get as lucky as you JimmyDean with getting some industrial rubber mat for free, but what's the recommendation for some cheap but decent alternatives? There's a kit for it that's only like $50 which seems to be like jute matting or rubber...you think that's a fair price? It covers pretty much all the floor.

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
Just letting you know That I Have Soundener kits available. It is very very similar to Dynamat. click the link in the signature or you can pm me if interested.

Re: Dynamat the Cab......
How about for thermal resistance? Up at school we had three weeks of -30f and a long time of -20f. I plan to camp in my burb as well so I would like to do something that will help insulate. I couldn't care less about noise.

I've used Dynamat before and will use it again. I like the way it quiets down all the road noise. I had a truck with the tank still in the cab and I stuck some on the tank also and it helped with the sloshing noise in the tank. I just put the Dynamat extreme in my GMC and I'm sure it'll be nice when I'm done. I did the floor, back wall, kick panels, behind the kick panel speaker panels and the rear 6x9 panels, door where the panel goes. and the door panels since they are plastic. I ordered 72 Square feet and had 1 2/3 sheet left.
