4. I'm getting the whole truck for a really good price and I want the 73 front end and no emissions
Now my plan is to:
Gut the cab get rid of the A/C, patch the holes from the old unit(Vintage Air in future)
Swap the body mounts
New Mounting hardware(Poly or rubber?)
Swap over most of my interior
What is a cheap but good insulator/sound deadener for the floor?
Is there any advice or things you would/wouldn't do?

What is the year cut off for needing OE emissions in place where you are?
