Good news, glad to hear you got the right ones!

Restored 2019-2022.
Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

They work Jeff but you still get that hollow metal drum sound. That’s ok with me. Also got new F150 emblems and side marker lens on truck. Looking Good! CJ

Speaking of that hollow metal drum sound, maybe we should put some sound deadener on the inside of the door?

But what if I don't want to let it down easy, CJ?

Gary, you will lose .002 mpg by the door being open 1/8”. Move material off bumpers. I don’t hear as good as I use too, so it’s ok with me. FORD TOUGH !  CJ

I don’t think that 460 is going to know the difference.

But the sound is very different and I’ll smile every time I get gas.

I like the original one's raw metal-metal sound better from an ASMR perspective

But really it is a good demonstration of what the sound dampening material can do.
