Sound Deadening These Old Rattle Cans...

Folks, once again I call your vast experience and and knowledge

I am in the planning and hoarding stages of my CCLB build. Its soul purpose is going to be a DD/work truck, this wont be a trailer queen.

While riding around in a 06 Chev Dmax today (test drive), it dawned on me that this is the truck I am modeling it after in the back of my head. I am using the drivetrain (hence the test drive), seats and likely the dash. I want every thing in this truck, just in a sqaure wrapper (i haver a way of choosing the hardest route to do things)

Now my concern is, can these old squares be made to ride as quite and comfortable as new vehicles? I don't mind spending good money on good product and i understand it wont be 100% but i want close. Now im talking smooth ride, i am strictly talking about road noise and highway comfort

I have no experience in sound deadening and hear great things about second skin and such, but i want to know just how close I can get.

Thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated,

Thank you

Scott
