66gtk Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What is the white bagged insulation in my 83 F150 (CA truck)? I hope it's not Asbestos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'm pretty sure that's fiberglass. I have a piece of it in my shop that I took out of Big Blue recently, and it looks to have the fibers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My cali truck does not have that. Here's a closeup of the pad out of Big Blue. I don't know what asbestos looks like, but this looks like fiberglass to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 What is the white bagged insulation in my 83 F150 (CA truck)? I hope it's not Asbestos. My 1984 F150 had this same flat bag of white fibrous insulation on the passenger side (basically, on top of the catalytic converter). I certainly don't know what it was, but I threw it out since it was looking pretty ratty at 35 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this site it doesn't list carpet pad or insulation as one of the things Ford used asbestos in though other companies did. But it does say it used it in other parts, like lining brake components. https://www.asbestos.com/companies/ford/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
