And, your friendly neighborhood Lowes store always has it in stock.

Thanks for your input guys, really appreciate it.
I did some research yesterday and I read a lot of posts on different forums where people complained about Peel n Seal melting and/or coming loose in hot climates. Others talked about how great the stuff worked and seemed really happy with it. I live in SC and the inside temperature of the vehicle easily reaches 130 degrees in the summer, so the negative comments concerning heat left me thinking it might not be the best option for me. In the end, I don't want to hear anything inside the vehicle; I want to be able to hold a conversation without having to shout.
I called up a good friend that runs a stereo shop and asked for his opinion. We talked for a while about my end goal for sound deadening and came up with what he says is the best solution. So... he recommends I buy two bulk packs of Dynamat to do my firewall, floor, rear cab wall, and inside of the doors. He said I should also put in the "bubble wrap stuff" (I can't remember the official name) and jute for the carpet.
Seems I always start out thinking about doing things the cheap and easy way on this truck and then end up going the exact opposite direction, haha. At least I'll get the material at cost this time, can't complain there.
