Thanks Don,
I lucked out when I found it at Idaho Motor Pool. I bought it just as you see it. Alex Gordon at IMP is a great, stand-up guy to deal with. I'm definately gonna need help working on this beast- will let ya know.
I'll post more pics as the work progresses.....
Blue,
Thanks for the compliment. I am going to insulate the entire cab, just not completely sure which products will go where. Probably lizard skin everywhere, folowed by something TBD. Here's some pics of the truck after I picked it up.
Enjoy,
Mark
Blue,
Thanks for the heads up!
I was considering the Lizard Skin because it is a spray on product that bonds tightly to the metal. Once dry, water cannot get underneath it.
My deuce spent its' life with the Arizona ANG in Phoenix and is pretty much rust free.
Not much H2O around here to drive...
Bob270,
What a small world! I have pics of your a/c install that were sent to me by Bret at Boyce.
I had them send me the same kit which I am in the process of installing here in Phoenix. (trying)
Let me know how it performs!
Sweeeet deuce!
Forgot to mention I did install a Donaldson muffler. I measured the sound with a sound meter 2 ft from the stack opening and got:
94 dB before
84 dB after muffler install- quite a reduction!
Thanks for all the input guys! Right now I'm considering spraying with lizard skin, covering that with a FatMat type product, then topping that with Durabak. I'll make sure to leave all the panels accessible.
What do y'all think? Too much?
I'm also in the process of installing an A/C kit I got...
Thanks guys, that's great info. Your truck looks great Don! Lowtech, thats exactly what I was trying to find out.
Are you guys happy with the noise dampening you get with the FatMat? What do you think of covering that with Durabak or a similar product?
Hi everyone!
I'm a new A2 deuce owner and I'm preparing to insulate the floor and cab of my truck. Not sure what product I'm going to use yet but I was wondering if it's necessary to leave the access panels on top of the transmission, well, "accessible"?
Do you veteran owners ever find it...
Sandbar,
Check out www.acoustiblok.com. They have lots of noise dampening products. Saw some on "cool tools" and they were amazing. I'm looking into using some of their products to quiet my deuce. Hope this helps
