Asbestos or not in these old trucks

[billetproofcustoms]

Hello everyone,

I have tried to get info on any asbestos containing materials used in these old trucks, I have a 1966 short wide. I have not had too much luck finding solid evidence, but have narrowed it down to the most common "large quantity" suspect materials, which are; the original black rubber/tar floormat, the firewall insulation in the cab, and the undercoating. Now, I know there is certainly a concern with brake dust, and I hope everyone knows that going in, brake dust should be common knowledge..?

My point being this;
I have taken samples of each of those items out of my truck and they are currently at an asbestos testing lab in Dallas for analysis. By this time next week I will know as fact if these 3 items i have listed are "hot"

I will immediately post results here in this thread so everyone here that has asked the question in the past will have an answer based in fact.

IMO, everyone should be aware of any potential health hazards from this stuff before diving in and tearing out something that is harmful to your health.
