Diesel Cab Firewall Cover / Insulator?

I was robbing some parts off a diesel Silverado and I noticed there was a 2pc plastic insulated cover over 3/4 of the driver's side firewall. Its mounting in the engine bay, not under the dash. I don't have any pics, but is anyone familiar with these?

I assume they are for sound deadening and so I thought about throwing it on my crew cab just for the hell of it. First time I have seen one.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

My brothers 84 K30 was a 6.2 origionally, and it had the extra insulation. We call it "the ol' quiet cab"

NOt that it actually 'quiets' the 6.2. Makes mine a little less annoying as compared to a military non-insulated version.

Not sure if they'll fit on a big block....
