    i havent used it, and for sure it would be better than nothing. run a wire wheel and a drill over anything bad and that stuff should do pretty well. might not last forever, but is better than just putting carpet over that. if you have it, just go for it. this makes me wanna do mine up fresh on both trucks too. and undercoat it. these old trucks are kinda hollow sounding.

    update, remove most of the interior stuff and scrubbed it with dawn dish soap and then gave it all a few coatings armoral. Scrubbed the walls and everything to to get dirt off. Dropped the seat off to have refoamed and recovered. Hopefully it doesnt take to long to get it back and then my interior should be in good shape for except a few missing pieces

    Yeah, took the rubber mat out and took it to the car wash then sparyed it with armoral tire foam actually and it worked great, then removed the gauges and trim pieces and scrubbed them and armoraled them, Still has room for improvement but it is a lot better. Now just gotta make some door panels and find a dash pad or something

    Man, I want that truck really bad. I want to find a truck similar to that anything pre 75 that's smog exempt here in Cali. Then swap in a 22R w/ 5speed. That'd be cash.
