Re: fire wall pads
I’m also wondering about this. But to go a step further, could sound deadener (dynomat) replace the firewall pad? Thanks

Re: fire wall pads
I don't know how much difference they make. From what I can tell, they're mostly for thermal insulation and maybe a little bit of sound deadening. We didn't install them on my dad's 64 - we just put on generic dynamat and it's not too loud. I've already welded shut the holes for the attachment of that pad on my cab, it's just cleaner that way and I hate messing with that material when I'm under the dash working on something.

Re: fire wall pads
I used rattle trap, instead of dynomat. About the same, also added close celled foam, from Low Buck Rod....it's nice, and not bubble wrap....Mine went almost all the way up under the dash, then piece of vinyl from long ago, instead of the cardboard and jute....I think it was called tarkit....Then carpet.

Re: fire wall pads
I got mine from LMC truck, there are three separate sections about $30 each section. Here is the link to page 109 top right corner. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/CB/full.aspx?page=109
