I think that would be great to have. If you throw lots of stuff into the truck that stuff will be great to have.

t.lyttle, try auto parts stores that deal in all of the crappy clip on/stick on mods. Auto-Zone, Advanced, etc. Also Walmart should have it in stock in the kit. Call around and save some gas. I know how frustrating it is to get sidelined in this thing, and driving around half finished sucks. Sorry to hear about the rain

Also carterx in addition to allowing you to toss crap in without care, and the obvious ease of clea up, it is also a superb sound deadener. It goes from sheet metal to rubberized sheet metal soaking up a lot of the noise (both vehicle and road) and also acts as a pretty good insulator. Hell people use it to coat sub enclosures or team it up with your favorite sound deadening mat to trap in the beats yo.

 

I recently did this as well to my 93' Full-Size Blazer. I gutted it, sanded it down, vacuumed it out, acetoned the inside down, and put 2 coats of herculiner down. I am very impressed with the entire application and the way it looks/feels.

When removing my interior panels in the back along the wheel hubs their were holes in the framing. I didnt want these showing so I went up to the local welding/pipe supply shop and purchased a sheet of 4'x8' 18guage Tin. I got some poster board and made a template of the each side to cover those sidings. I then placed the templates on the sheet of tin, traced it out, and cut it with electric cutting sheers. I glued automotive padding to the inside to help with insulation and noise reduction and mounted them to the sides with self tapping metal screws. Looks like a solid truck bed.

See pictures for details (sorry for camera phone pics)

Gutted and you can see a glimpse of the sheet of tin on the wheel wells.

Herculiner applied and you can see the sheet metal siding over the wheel wells looking solid.

Enjoy!

 

Looks good! I will be doing this to the back of my K5 as well!

 

Nice. Might rethink my approach after seeing that.

 

Nice work!! I like that a lot. I might think about going the back of my truck someday. Thanks for the pics!

 

This is what the back of a 2gen looks like Bedlined. Forgive the lame sub...
Also where it looks like I painted over rust like a jack as, is infact dirt from some old boots

 

How well does it work as a sound barrier??

 

Funny you should ask. I drove around for almost 2 months with just a driver's seat and seat belt in my cab. NOTHING else, not even a radio... You would not believe how loud road noise actually is...
Anyway, now that I have the bedliner down I would say it's comparable to a normal truck with the rear window just barely cracked. Slightly louder than carpet/padding combo, but not by much. When I can get up to my dad's place and use his pressure washer, i will be undercoating my truck, At that point it should be no different to slightly better than factory.

Note, they use this stuff for sub woofer boxes. In fact, I think in the "Audio system install pics" thread there was a guy with a monster box with like 6 12" subs that was bedlined.

So I guess the answer to your question is... erm... Yes?

 

Tell me about it. Mine just has the two front seats in it for now. No carpet...nuttin.

Totally missed the post suggesting it was a good sound deadener..
