I tried to search on Lowes website but could not find it..

The stuff I used is called Window Flashing..
it will be located in the Roofing section..
each role is 6" wide and I think 30 feet long...

You would normally use it to help insulate a window when installing new windows..but a freind said he used it and it worked very well for sound deading so I figured hey it is a lot cheaper then Dynomat. so why not..

and being that it does help a lot in my truck I say it was well worth it

I like everything about my 90 single cab except for the bench seat. I have a bad back too. What are the bucket seats out of that you used in your truck? I'm over 6 feet tall and I wander about head clearance. I don't want to cut a hole out roof for my head, that would look stupid-me and the hole in the roof. Nice job on the seats and the floor insulation.

These seats are from a mid 90's FORD Conversion van..I am 5'11" and I fit fine.. but I will say this I left stock seat belts in and few of my "BIGGER around the belly freinds" can not hook the seta belt ehheehe

Reason: seat ssit higher then stock bench seat due to mechanics under the seat.

When I worked for the dealer here,we used to sell the seat belt extensions for $0
Chrysler is supposedly all about safety so they don't charge for them.
Ask your dealer,they should still be able to get them for you.
