1974 Chevy Stepside - Sound Off

With some tin snips, he removed the rusted-through areas on both sides.

Both the passenger and driver sides had serious cancer.

Rather than replace the entire floor right now, J.B. decided to paint the rusted areas with Rust-Oleum stop-rust and install temporary patch panels.

After sticking the self-adhesive, pre-trimmed Sound Damper Pads to the inner rear wall of the cab, J.B. used a wallpaper roller to ensure a solid bond.

A liberal application of the supplied adhesive came next.

He sprayed the backside of the Heat Absorber/ Barrier cab wall panel as well.

Once the sprayed glue had set-up, John installed the cab wall's insulation panel and rolled the material firmly to the metal.

As you can see, the installed insulation panel looks great (and works even better).

In anticipation of installing the floorboard components, he opened the next package.

Working his way down the cab wall, he sprayed the slender, angled section with glue, as well as the corresponding piece of insulation.

Prior to firmly gluing the insulation material to the metal, he cut around both seatbelt brackets with a pocketknife and rolled the material fast to the metal.

Following the installation instructions, John adhered the appropriate-sized Sound Damper Pads to the seat pan.
