Hey, thanks for posting these pics. By chance I was throwing some soundproofing into my own truck over the weekend and found them to be a handy reference. . I was looking at how your guys cut in around the rectangular holes for the side panels. Really simple. I haven't got to that part yet but am going to try to do the same.
This is the first time I've had a go at soundproofing myself. We've done a couple of trucks at work but I wasn't that involved. I went for Dynamat. Surprised how easy the product is to use but I under-estimated the quantity and ran out. Should get another box delivered in a day or so and finish off the roof and side panels.....looks like your guys joined the roof and the panel that holds the flouro light. I'll do the same.
BTW, I covered the engine hatch then went right over the hatch and down onto the floor. I figure the engine hatches are always hard to shut tight and you get a lot of noise and heat through the seal so I basically taped it closed. I figure its easier to flip the cab than lift the seat anyway so I made my engine hatch redundant.....or can still cut the tape if I change my mind down the track.
It was a lot to do under the dash properly but I think that big front flat panel was definitely worth doing. Even the harness was out which made it easier than having to work around it.......but can understand if anyone thought that would be too much work.
Thanks again for posting.
Regards John

Well actually I haven't got that far yet. I should get some more Dynamat by mid week and will continue the job after that. If you want then I'll post pics of the finished job.
Are your guys saying the doors are too hard?
What's the brand of the soundproofing on yours?

Not sure but it looks like the stealth hushmat.

I did my whole cab recently and as far as the little rectangular holes for the push tabs I just laid over them and then cam back with a razor knife and cut them out and was easy. For the doors I took everything apart and took the widows out then reached into the door and applied it to the out side skin, was tough to get it into some of the hard to reach corners but the results were great sound wise.

I did my cab ages ago, but haven't got around to doing the doors as yet (ran out of Dynamat). It is still on my list of things to do.
Nice shot. Did the application block the all important water drains shown along the base of the door?

No I made sure those were clear.
It sounds like most are in agreement with the benefits of covering as much of the interior as possible with Dynamat and/or Hushmat type material. Has anyone ever applied some sort of undercoating to the exposed metal areas seen in the fender wells when the FG cab is lifted? These areas look prone to road damage.
