Insulation Installation - Tech

Keeping The Cool In And Heat OutThey (whoever "they" may be) say that if the music is too loud, you are too old. I choose not to debate that long-standing issue, but will say that if the truck is too loud to hear the music, the truck is too loud. My recently acquired '68 Chevy C10 ("Buying a Project Truck," Feb. '10) is fun to drive, but the cab acoustics are less than ideal. With a small-block Bow Tie that cranks out an estimated 400 horsepower, it does have a distinct rumble. However, if you cannot enjoy the stereo or carry on a conversation with anyone else that may be in the truck with you, some sound abatement is in order. Another byproduct of the abundant horsepower is that it generates a fair amount of heat. Future plans to install a better exhaust system that is routed toward the rear of the truck (rather than exiting just in front of the rear tires) will help to remove some noise and heat. But, for now, some Dynamat sound deadening material and foil-faced thermal insulation will provide some immediate improvement to occupant comfort.
