    The wiring is all done for what I need for now.
    I wanted to install Dow Soft insulation but no one stocks it:

    So for now, its going back together as-is. Maybe come spring I will tear it apart and insulate it then...
    (not planning on running her this Winter...)

    Well I am more after insulating properties. The DOW stuff is R-13. As long as Dynamat would be equal or better, I would certainly consider that stuff.
    The foam I had in there was NASTY and resting someplace in a landfill just about now :biggrin_25513:

    Lowes, Home cheapo, Ace, Menards etc can get it.

    If you aint running it until spring I'd leave the interior apart and get some ordered in. A small electric heater running inside the truck for a couple hrs will warm it up enough to work inside on most winter days. 1500 watts will do. Eventually it'll get too warm for working.

    Thanks :biggrin_25514:

    Yea, all of those stores SUPPOSEDLY sell the DOW stuff. Non here stock it.
    No one ever HEARD of it.......

    So I called DOW. They told me just to have someone order it. I didnt have the time, so I closed up the inside and will hit it later in the year or next year. I needed to close up the inside, since I am driving it and it looked like CRAP with stuff hanging and what not :biggrin_25524:

    ACE can order it. Why no one stocks this stuff is beyond me. I think it's great and NOT itchy...
