My buddy actually made interior wood handles to replace the vinyl and plastic ones that usually break then you use them to lull the door closed, they look beautiful, just an idea.
Looks great, I have a 92 rclb 1/2ton. Had to replace floors and a cab brace. I coated my floor with POR15 when finished top and bottom. Then rubberized under coating top and bottom. Sound deadener along with new door seals helped a lot. I would imagine crew cab is an even bigger before and after difference interior noise
Tim, great video, the interior is looking really good on Prospector Bob. I just restored the interior on my 66’ Eldorado and my comments are Dynomat is a great sound deadened. Wwen cutting holes in the carpet, I use a pointy solder Gun which makes nice clean edges in the carpet and avoids pulling threads if you drill. 91.5 cummins interior is next. Keep up the great work and content.
Love the seats and center console. What year and model of the seats/center console. I'm also very interested in the seat bracket measurements. I'm assuming it will work in my regular cab 1991 w350. Great channel straight to the point, and your ability to teach, and motivate. Great job, mahalo!
Any suggestions for carpeting a 1956 IH Firetruck cab? No stress being a dodge channel. I am installing the cab on a 2008 ram 3500 chassis. And, after watching your channel, I have a “built” 5.9 12 valve (VE pump) thanks to The Hungry Diesel. And, a “ built” 6-speed manual tranny! Gonna be a beast once done!
@@decentgarage I’m looking for a extended cab or possibly a 4 door dodge to build if anyone knows we’re I can find one please let me no !! Thanks roll n chassy an body is all I need.
Looks great! Did you build that seat bracket or purchase it? Also, did you add any structural rigidity to the floor of the cab to handle the brackets? 👍🏼
Would you use the deadener and the foam if you were doing a headliner? I know the crew cabs didnt have headliners, but I just pulled mine out of my club cab and was thinking of using the deadener under it as well. I have been looking for a saddle blanker seat cover for months that wasn't flimsy.
The interior looks great man, been planning on painting mine black and your last few videos have helped. Also you know if products from LMC truck are any good for the 1st gen dodges? Been lookin to order some carpet and such
For right now i ran it straight off the battery until I set up my external fuse block. I like it on constant power so if I need to move the seat when I'm working on stuff i can without turning the key on
Both my trucks have the kdp done. I did the one on the silver crew and the one on the prospector was done when I bought it. What questions do you have about it?
@@decentgarage Ok Thanks. I'm about to do the job and put an aluminium radiator on. Too bad there isn't a way to see if its done without taking the case off. I took off my oil filler and looked with my scope but no luck.
So far it's much quieter. I've only driven it for a few miles and now I'm out of town. When i get back home I'll definitely put more miles on it give an update.
@@DuddiesAdventure check out soundeadenershowdown com for how different products work. Not all products are the same. Like Tim said, really only need to cover about a 1/4 of a metal panel with sound deadening tiles to stop the tin can sound. However, I covered my entire floor to help prevent any water from getting to the floor pans since the butylene material is also used for water sealant. Hydrophobic Melamine foam is great, but expensive. Mass loaded vinyl is also a great product for certain areas. I covered about 1/4 of the inner and outer skins of my doors with 80mil Knoknoise. Entire roof covered with the same 80mil then covered entire roof with hydrophobic Melamine foam before installing the headliner. 100mil Knoknoise on the entire floor covered by all the original mass loaded vinyl and original mass backed carpet before covering it with new mass backed carpet. I'm very satisfied with the results. The products and applications are endless, inside, outside and in between. Do some research and ask yourself what is your overall goals, then decide how much time and money you are willing to spend.
FYI, Downloaded a decibel meter to my phone and at idle the cummins has a reading of 70 db compared to a 2011 F350 Lariat automatic deleted straight pipe at idle reading 64 db. Cummins averaged 74 db going thru all the manual gears and running at 70mph and had top db reading of 78 db which occured running in first gear. The ford averaged 69 db and topped out at 73 db under the same conditions. This is of course is after sound deadening the cummins 93 doors, floor and roof. Back wall is still factory along with the extended cab walls.
Compared my db readings to Tyler Oven's sound deadening build, keep in mind use of different type db meters. Tyler's truck at idle after sound deadening was 67 db and at 60mph had a reading of 76.5 db. In conclusion, there are several differences between mine and Tyler's sound deadening projects, material used and areas covered.
Another great video. I'll be putting a carpet in my ram charger in the next two weeks. I'll check rock auto, had planned on LMC but yours looks very nice. Thank you sir
Another great video Tim! You will really like the difference it makes in the cab with all the sound deadening and mass backed carpet! Will probably however really notice all the wind noise coming in around the triangle side windows, find a cure for that please! Great choice on the rear seat cover, my cousin manufactures that material here in NC. Can't wait to see your choice on the shifter boot.
This interior completely transformed Prospector Bob! What is your favorite part of the new interior?
You did a good job on the seat bracket.
That black Carpet and the soundproofing
Right on man! Them trucks are looking good! Makes me want an older truck again!
Old truck life is the only life 🤣
Thanks for the heads up on the carpet saved me $30.00 on shipping

That's been on my list to do for years now but my current ones keep holding up haha

Yeah, it's hard to quiet a crew cab haha
Good video! There’s hope for my 82 D150
Turned out really nice Tim. You really have been doing a nice job finishing the conversion. Thumbs Up !
Thanks 👍
That looks amazing great job. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Thanks David!
Best channel on UA-cam!
Say what? I wish more people thought so too haha
This is absolutely awesome
Man I wish you had all the measurements for that seat bracket that would be decent
I did a full video on building the bracket. Tell me what measurements you want and I'll get them all for you 👍
@@decentgarage I m gonna pm you on Facebook
WOW!!!! there's hope for my 89 W-150!

That's a perfect idea for cutting holes in the carpet. I'll try to remember that for next time!
thanks for sharing
Thanks Marty!
Dodge, my true love.
Haha good to hear
keep the great work man I just got putting a top on my 1934 ford 2 door sedan
Thanks man! Little by little

Looks awesome. What about the back seats ??
Still stock for the rear 👍
Great job man!
Thanks Ben
Do a video on reinforcing the doors
I've got that one planned. Probably a winter project i can do in the garage

Going with weathertech or some rubber for the floor since it's a work truck. Nice redo.
Thanks!
What year truck are those new seats from ?
Looks great! Did you build that seat bracket or purchase it? Also, did you add any structural rigidity to the floor of the cab to handle the brackets? 👍🏼
Ordered my carpet from lmc truck
Would you use the deadener and the foam if you were doing a headliner? I know the crew cabs didnt have headliners, but I just pulled mine out of my club cab and was thinking of using the deadener under it as well. I have been looking for a saddle blanker seat cover for months that wasn't flimsy.
Yes, i will be putting a headliner in the og crew soon and I'll be putting the sound deadener and foam up there as well.
How exactly did you interchange the durango seat buckle? Did you have to cut and re-stitch the seat belt strap?
The interior looks great man, been planning on painting mine black and your last few videos have helped. Also you know if products from LMC truck are any good for the 1st gen dodges? Been lookin to order some carpet and such
Some of the lmc stuff is good and some not so much. It's somewhat hit or miss.
If you don't mind, can I ask where you tapped into the key on wiring to power your seats?
For right now i ran it straight off the battery until I set up my external fuse block. I like it on constant power so if I need to move the seat when I'm working on stuff i can without turning the key on
do you have a specific shifter boot you'd recommend?
Either the stock boot or strong hold shift boot
@@decentgarage Thank you!
@decentgarage What year model are the seats and console?
Where did you get the black carpet? Is it molded?
Rock auto. And yes it's molded. The video before this one should show the install and talk about the details.
Off subject but do you know where to find steering to frame bracket on the 90 W250 w/diesel?
No one makes them that i know of. You have to find a used one for sale.
How much quieter is the cab now?
I've only put a few miles on it so far but it is definitely much quieter.
i need the clips that hold in the door panel
Stand by, let me see if I can find you a link to them. I know lmc has them.
Here is a link to a 100 pack of the clips for $20. I'll add this link to the description of the video as well
amzn.to/3ulT9n1
what about a head liner??
They don't make crew cab headliners but I have something in the works.
Nice Job! Hope to get my 93 W250 cleaned up . Have you done the KDP in either of your trucks?
Both my trucks have the kdp done. I did the one on the silver crew and the one on the prospector was done when I bought it. What questions do you have about it?
@@decentgarage Did you bother to lock tight the additional 5 or 6 internal bolts inside the case?
@@AD-ht3jl yes, that is probably more important than the actual kdp on the VE trucks.
@@decentgarage Ok Thanks. I'm about to do the job and put an aluminium radiator on. Too bad there isn't a way to see if its done without taking the case off. I took off my oil filler and looked with my scope but no luck.
@@AD-ht3jl I've always wondered if you could get a view of it with a scope.
Interior came out looking great. How is the sound deaden in the cab with that cummins?
So far it's much quieter. I've only driven it for a few miles and now I'm out of town. When i get back home I'll definitely put more miles on it give an update.
@@decentgarage Awesome, Good to know. Mine is going to need it too, so im curious what works and what doesn't

I drove the truck a few miles and it's noticeaby quieter. It's just so much more comfortable than it was too.
excellent ... are those durango or ram seats?
They are durangos
