cab insulation
Bob, I restored a 12cab Ford CMP w/ similar style doghouse. While you don't neccessarily have to insulate it, take it from a guy who put plenty of hot summer miles on his, it's definitely worthwhile doing as your left leg starts to slow-roast. I investigated several options incl using the shiny hot-rod stuff. As agreed, it looks like crap and isn't really meant for the application. The heat is simply too intense in a small area. I would suggest a fiberglas product like a duct wrap used in furnace applications. When I worked in the sheet metal business we used to attach to ductwork using an adhesive meant for the purpose and a nail/washer device to attach it. The were two types of nails, one with an adhesive back you pressed in place, put glue down and insulation. Nail stuck through and you pushed a washer on, cut off excess wire. The other type was actually spot welded in place using a stud welding machine, same sort of application process. Hope this helps.
