I tip I also read from someone is to stick a chunk inside the outer door skin, it did dampen a lot of the noise from the door.

Basically in my truck, I tried to repair everything I could. Even a torn shifter boot was replaced. New flooring helped a ton. Even putting in a new rubber floor mat instead of carpet was a big help over nothing. I do feel the pain, in that truck, the driver floorboards were 3 layers thick.

Truck wasn't real quiet, then again I wasn't trying for that. But it was far better than what I had. It was good enough that I was dealing with a whistle in the heater when I sold it.
thats exactly what i mean, i know this old trucks never gonna be "quiet" but i want to kill the sound as best i can without breaking the bank
