Robert,

        I bought a Innovation Cab Level Shell for my 93 LE Club Cab, one month aft
I purchased the truck for $740.00, the shell is made from the following:

                * 5 layers of Material
                        - 1. Thick Jell Coat of Paint
                        - 2. Top Layer of Fiber Glass Skin 1/8"
                        - 3. Thick Middle Layer of Honey Cone Fiber Glass 1/4"
                        - 4. Bottom Layer of Fiber Glass Skin 1/8"
                        - 5. Glued Rubber Backed Thick Carpet to Shell
                
        I presently have over 3 years and a rough 55k miles on it through many
temps. from 30 below to 12O degrees, and have not encountered any problems
with it.
        Soon after I bought the shell I sprayed my truck bed with the a thick
rubberized bed sealer and placed a standard rubber mat in it, then I
purchase a Carpet Kit for it.

        With the present configuration, I can heat and cool it from the front
Heater/Air Cond. Unit without over working either one.

                                        Good Luck,
                                                        John

PS; Don't use that Slick 50, if any thing use the Dura Lube or Tri-bo- tech
additives
        which are sold by the Chrysler Corp. Dealerships.

                Slick 50 has to many PFT's and other additive's that will clog up you
ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
