After waiting for 6.5 months for delivery of our 2500 170 4x4, finally getting going on our build. Initial details like moulding clip seal and extra rattletrap done. Looking to insulate the floor before making a trip south in August to pick up Thinsulate, battleborns and the piles of stuff from Amazon that have filled my brothers garage in California. Plan to use 1/2" rigid polystyrene sandwiched between two layers of 1/8" closed cell polyethylene foam under the factory floor, finished with a layer of cal rubber coin mat. Leaning towards not filling the corrugated channels with closed cell, the idea being that the air gaps might be good if moisture were to migrate under the floor. One of my many questions is around Por 15 rust inhibiting paint that I have seen mentioned here. How necessary is something like that on a new floor? Looking to build the nicest conversion I can while keeping an eye on weight and budget. Consequently have to resist doing every awesome idea I read here and see on YouTube!! Details above are provided cuz, a) looking for feedback and ideas, and b) I'm stoked for this project! Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks, Gary
