Installing Kilmat Soundproofing in the Cab | 1970 LS Swap Chevy C10 

Sound deadening on the roof of the truck will help a ton, it did on my 85 square body.

I've always wondered if this adhesive sound mat will promote future rust beneath it. I appreciate the reasoning behind its use.

Your truck is a real inspiration, I’m just starting mine and I really appreciate you efforts and you sharing all of this. Very nice build you’ve got going on.

Paul thank you for building some more confidence to carry on with my 68 restoration. I am at the stages of inner and outer rockers and cab corners. thanks

Another great video. Thank you so much for sharing and documenting your progress! It really helps with the planning for my own c10.

Looking good, I done the inside of my 1964 c10 love this product. I will use this on all of my builds. Take care my friend & be safe Paul.....

Great video man, I’ve been looking for something like this for my 2wd K5 build. Nice work came out nicely 👍🏼

Thank you so much, have my grandpa's C10 1970 to restore and you've inspired me greatly and huge help.

Coming together beautifully man!

Nice work and thanks for the links to the products!

Outstanding videos Paul, I am working on my '68 C10 and I am doing the exact same thing and having the exact same issues with rust requiring the same level of metal work. I have been using your videos as a how-to guide along side my '67-72 C10 assembly manual. This video has convinced me to sound deaden the cab as well. Cheers!

Is coming really nice keep up the good work man 👍🏽👍🏽💯

Came out great! Awesome video man

Nice job!..as a novice, I never thought about cleaning with alcohol, and using rust evaporator on some rust spots.

Really solid video. Thanks for sharing

thanks to ur video i updated my 1985 c10 thanks again

Great advice, should help my 86 squarebody you rock

Super clean 👍🏻

Looks great man

Nice Build so far!! A little bit of advice...a heat gun works wonders when installing sound deadener material...heat will make it roll like baby drool

Another Great Video!

looks good. I would recommend going all the way up the firewall to cut out a ton of engine heat and noise.

Love simple green

Looking good. Keep chipping away at it.

Satisfying 👍🏼

Just so you know, the doors are one of the most crucial steps for sound deadening. Don't skip the doors. I would also add a layer of closed cell foam on top of the deadener you just installed.

After seeing this video I'm going to put some kind of sound/heat dampening material on my c10

Great video bro

Just subscribe brother awesome video review! Keep em coming

I've got the same kit coming in this week, to go in the back of my old Suburban. If it helps, then I'll do the rest of the truck.

(SUBSCRIBED) ....great job KILMAT contacted me after i posted my video asking to use part of my video i posted on my build ...i say of course and thank you ....love your detail keep it up

I've been watching all your C-10 videos as I just purchased my project 1971 C-20 a few weeks ago. From the body work to the cart you made its all been awesome to watch and helpful for prep my work. I will be filming the progress and sending folks your way as I give you credit for the cart and so on. Come check us out and follow I maybe calling on for a few things LOL

Awesome

Did this last night with my wife in my 82 RSCB. Man was it time consuming.

Looks great. Looking to use this stuff myself.

Great progress, Paul! I don't think the extras on the floor will make a difference. It's sound deadening not heat shield. I put Dynamat in my bug and am thinking an extra layer on the firewall would not make a difference. You should have put them in the doors and a heat shield under the cab above the exhaust.

I got a question I have 2 10s in my jeep renegade wheel area with bandpass box. I have added deadner to roof and under box trunk area . When I turn speakers up sounds like I'm under. Car wash vibrates and sounds like I'm in a barrel maybe flexing not sure please help. Can some give me steps to make the rear area sound clean and not move all the panels and no flex????

Great video! I see you've sold this project, just wonder how you liked the Kilmat, and if it did a good job? I'm at that point on my c10 now. THanks!!!!

Did you film this a while ago, or this morning (6/7)? It hasn't been chilly in the morning in a while in my part of Michigan. lol Noico 80mil is also a cheap deadener choice. If you really want to quiet down the inside, a layer of Mass Loaded Vinyl or sheet lead (either is about 1lb per sq ft) over the deadener will make a big difference as well. If you use sheet lead, pick up some 5mm-ish closed cell foam with an adhesive backing and use it on both sides as. MLV would also benefit from this, or you can look at a product called Luxury Liner Pro. It's made by a company called Second Skin Audio. Other than sheet lead (available on Amazon) they carry everything you would need to make it sound like a Benz, lol Get more for the roof and the doors, especially if you put speakers in there.

Great video! Since this is a semi-permanent install, were you just extremely thorough in rust prevention before laying all this down? Want to do the same in my 83, but needs some rust prevention & clean-up first.

What’s the inside bracing for?

What is your impression of the Kilmat.( IE) ease of use , cost sound deadening & heat performance. Project is looking good. Keep up your good work. Stay Real.

Instead of doubling over the exhaust, I would choose to put it on the ceiling.

What is the spring in the corner of the cab at 11:40 in your video?

Great video. I am doing a similar process in my truck now. My question is about the rust encapsulator. I know its purpose but im curious on why you applied it in the sections you did. I am guessing the bolt holes?

Thanks for mentioning our material! May we share this footage for our customers and tag you? Thank you in advance!

Could have done the 80mil and gotten a little better sound proofing and even thrown some of the thin insulation matting on top of that.

Reminds me of roofing lol

At :32 seconds to the right, there is a Harbor Freight jack stand recall, because of failure. You can find videos here on RU-vid, you should do a (short) FYI to get the word out. There's over 500,000 affected units, I think...

that stuff needs to be at least an inch thicker. 2 inches in the roof

Did you do the headliner? Biggest source of heat and NVH believe it or not.

Should’ve painted it first and then put your Illmatic in

What about door ?

Is there any reason not to paint the entire floor with rust encapsulator?? If I’m going to be covering the entire floor with the Kilmat ?

U should buy another kit and do the roof

Do you notice a big difference after soundproofing? I am thinking about doing this in the doors and roof as well. but is it worth it?

Just curious why you wouldn't remove that little bit of rust from the floor, 5 minute work is far better than encapsulating it where is will come back later. Encapsulators should only be used when you cant remove the rust not just because someone wants to save 5 minutes of their 2+ yr project

About a buck a square foot, how does it compare to other similar products...

just wondering what this costs versus doing a spray in bedliner, even if yo uhave to pay someone to do it?

Does this help keep the heat away?

Have you ever been told that you favor Jimmy Johnson.

did ur truck come that low or did you cut your floor

You do it under dash
