Question What type of insulation for floors and walls?

Hello! I'm about to put insulation in my floors. I've already ripped up the rubber and wood subflooring and used OSPHO and then painted over it with POR-15. I was thinking of putting 1 x 2's...

Thank you. I will probably have to walk away from this one. That will give me some time to get my CDL and learn a bit about air brakes anyway. I know i don't technically NEED a CDL, but i'd like to...
