insulation for panel truck

Wondering what others are using to insulate interrior of truck and especailly panel's. Don't want to cause sweating issue or squeaking.Thought about the house styrofoam but concerned about it getting loose over time and nerve racking squeak. Mainly concerned about keeping it cool.95 stinking degree here today,so nothing getting done on it today.

I was thinking about that today for my Panel Truck and I have decided to spray the inside with 3M Body Schutz for sound deadening and either regular house insulation or HVAC ductwork insulation board for the heat/cool factor..... I have a friend that has a Body Schutz spray gun and I.m going to call him tomorrow and see if I can use it.

I would not recommend regular house insulation. It is made from tiny fiberglass particols. Even if you cover it up, it will filter out and get all over everything. If you have ever dealt with this stuff, you know how bad that can be! It works its way into your skin, eyes and lungs and is extremely hazardous to your health.

I insulated my whole house with it when I built it. It also itches really bad!!! It is available enclosed in a plastic sheath but it is quite a bit more expensive that way. No more than I need that wouldn't be a problem though.....

Re: insulation for panel truck

I met the guys from EZ Cool Insulation at the Pate swap meet. I bought a jumbo roll of their insulation for my panel. It was very affordable and I believe it will provide good sound deadening and insulation qualities.

Check them out at www.ezcool.us
