Cab Insulation
I'm starting to insulate my F-1 cab... lookin for input. Where can i find sheet insulation? Maybe 3/8-1/2 thick aluminum sided? Don't want to spend a ton of money. What is Jute Backing? Thanks Ken

Re: Cab Insulation
I've seen insulation at Menard's that looks like 3/8" thick bubble wrap covered with reflective foil. Look for it in the insulation aisle, usually at the back of the indoor lumbar yard.
Jute is a thick soft cottony padding, looks to be made up of recycled fabrics, usually about 1/2" to 3/4" thick. I've seen it under a bunch of car carpeting and sometimes adhered to the interior side panels for soundproofing.

Re: Cab Insulation
I have used the expanded polyethelene thin foam from EZ cool in texas and it works great, cut and glue with 3M spray adhesive the rolls of material are very inextensive, check out the web site. www.lobucrod.com
