A lot of my undercoating was still intact when I started my WC16 project. It really looked like a sort of tar that was sprayed on. Very chunky and not smooth. I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it, so I ended up using a bedliner material. Since none of the other Dodge WC half-tons have this type of undercoating, I was under the impression that it was for sound deadening due to the large expanse of the flat sheet metal floor. It appeared to work really well in holding in moisture to accelerate the rusting process....rondo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 12:59 pmPhil,
thanks for the input. the splice is almost done but its worth taking a look. the undercoat is reference to the WC6 not the trailer. my fault for writing that up the way it was. Zeph has been a great source (as usual) lol
I will definitely be undercoating the WC body, its just a matter of choosing something that is correct
So far, I haven't noticed a great deal of road noise when driving at around 50 mph. Of course, the doors are off,so there is a lot of general noise. One of these days I will figure out the doors and get those on for a enclosed test.
Here's a photo that I shot when I started my WC16 project. One can just see the undercoating texture on the floor:
If one right clicks the photo and selects "open in new tab" the photo should be larger for viewing.
