		In order to have a quieter ride along with some insulation from the outside elements, I added a small amount of insulation to the inside of the cab.
		By trying to be smart with my money, instead of ordering an insulation package for the truck or insulation sold on automotive web sites, I ventured down to my local HomeDepot. From what I have seen of the automotive insulation, they are close to what you can buy in a roll at a big box store. Just hope it stays attached which I have no reason to expect it won't.
		The area under the seat will never be visible once the seat is in place. For the area on the back of the cab and behind the seat, I don't expect it to show once the seat is bolted in, but if it is, the insulation might just come out.
		Here is a shot of the roof. Based on some quick numbers, this insulation or hushmat would run me around $100 through Eastwood. With HomeDepot, closer to $30.
		Here is the a shot of the heater after putting it back in along with the thermostat and defroster cable. The defroster hoses here are the original ones with the truck. I ordered replacements for them. The ones that say, "Match the original."... Well, they were very far from that and will now be going back.
		Window trim now going in around the windshield. Lightly secured in place leaving plenty of room to slide in the headliner.
