Rear interior of 75.

I am intending to line the entire back, sides included and leave the bolts in situ for the rear seats so I can use use it for hauling but can fit the seats when I need to haul the kids. I need a rear seat that can safely hold baby seats and also recommendations for how to line the back. I've read a few threads on this but there doesn't seem to be a real consensus on the best way to line the rear of a blazer for functionality but at the same time cut down noise. I was wondering if there was some form of noise reducing paint or spray in liner or a sub liner you put down first before liner.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

These pictures have been very beneficial to me. I don't know where I found this but it is one of the most detailed documentations of a rebuild I've seen.

The link is directly where this guy is applying the rear interior.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

There are several different liners, but none does it all. You can have the rear of the truck professionally sprayed with Line-ex or Rhino etc and have something durable, but most that have done this report that is doesn't really do anything for noise. There are also some bed liner-in-a-can products that you can roll on at home for about half the cost and probably get the same results as having it professionally sprayed in, but maybe not as pretty.

Lizard Skin has two types of liners, one for heat reduction and one for noise reduction - and you can use them together. But I don't know how well they will work as a top coat and I don't think it is tintable.

Have you had (or heard) of this spray in substance "crumbling" over time? I'm interested in this spray in material for my interior after rust cleanup. I was wondering if there is a negative side.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

I use a small board in the back of mine,but i've made boards over the years 3/8 cut to fit,used skids in my burb to make the floor flat,it had bumps/seat brackets.
kept the dogs safe too,running around in the back
I'd start with a good under coating,or painting
I've read some "coatings" inside will wear,if not covered
I've done "tremclad" ,clean floor, apply rust paint, really thick,helps, cheap/easy to fix

Line-Ex seems to get better reviews, I had it sprayed in a truck I had some years back, but I put a tonneau on that truck and sold it a couple of years later. It still looked like new when I sold it, but it was covered and it was only two or three years later. But a buddy's wife had it sprayed in her Colorado about the same time and it has never been covered. It has faded some, but not much. No crumbling or peeling at all.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

The Lizard Skin is interesting stuff, but so far I've only seen it used under carpet. It seems to be more of a spray-in alternative to Dynamat or other sound control products used under carpet. I guess you could put some down and then put a bed liner product over it, but it would start getting expensive.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

So first things first though. Job number one is to remove all old paint etc and get it down to bare metal, prime and paint it.
THEN add the noise proofing and THEN whatever I feel like having on the top of it all. I guess while finishing i'd also have to leave in the rear seat bolts to protect the threads.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

If you are going to use bed liner, just scuff it up and apply. If you take it down to bare metal, prime, paint, then put the bed liner down, you're actually increasing the chance it will separate.

Re: Rear interior of 75.

So a bedliner can be sprayed / painted onto existing finish? I want to cut the noise too though for the back seat peeps which is why i was wondering about liners which do that. COnversely though i do like the idea of a paint / spray in bedliner. Was wondering what you can put under it though?
