You aren't going to keep the sound out with a 250 truck. Doesn't matter what you do.I want to "take it down" to the bare minimum and sound proof and insulate the dash then the floor etc,.. Then I want to replace the dash panels with new ones. New bulbs, lenses, etc.. Passenger seat redone with better material.
Insulate the back of the cab and the roof, fix the air gaps at the windows and so on. Basically, I just want to have the interior quiet as I can with as many of the gaps sealed and some of the water intrusions sealed by the windshield.
Thank you for the response and the photos! Looks like I will have to put some serious thought into sound suppression elsewhere or another way.You aren't going to keep the sound out with a 250 truck. Doesn't matter what you do.
Quite a few of us have gutted them down to replace the floor. When I reinstalled I used 1inch foam board on the underside of the floor and used the 4x8 horse stall Mat from tractor supply in the cab.
There are firewall and backwall insulation kits out there that were military issue.
The roofs aren't made of crap so you really won't want to add anything to it.
I still want "that look" just quieter!The simple allure of a tactical truck is lost on some...
Better to try to insulate the firewall in the engine bay with foam board and spray foam. Remove the dog house and do it. You can do the dual fuel line mod while you are in there.I still want "that look" just quieter!

There isn't much I haven't done to a 5 ton in the way of modifications, towed, or driven it to.Have you done them?
