Factory foam in cab corners

[Tinman238]

Should I remove the factory installed “foam” from the cab corners, front & rear? My Texas truck is solid-no rust and I want to keep it that way. Anybody have any experience removing this stuff? Kinda looks like a pain in the butt.

If it were mine, I would remove it and put fluid film in there.

I'd venture to say if it's made it the first 20 some odd years like that, it'll probably be OK to leave it as is.

I don't think you will be able to remove all of it from the top side. The stuff gets deep down in there.

That foam isn't going to cause rust, the rust starts lower.
It is NVH foam, the truck will be noisier without it.

Did you end up removing it?

The OP hasn't been here in over a year, and that was their one and only post. Highly unlikely they will respond.
I had to take mine out when I welded in a new cab corner, what a PITA! Didn't even get it all, it's very gooey.

This ended up being a problem for me, and I ended up putting foam back in that area. If anybody that is considering doing this is worried about noise...
