Rubber Floor Mat and what else? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm sure this has been covered before but need to ask. My '71 4x4 is getting closer to coming out of the paint & body shop. Have no idea what is original floor covering other than the black rubber floormat. When I bought the truck there was't much of that left either. I have a repop floor mat for 4x4 with tails but what do I need to go under it as far as sound deadening, insulation, moisture barrier? Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance to all replies.

The factory had some kind of cheap insulation, I think I threw all of my old stuff away. You can buy replacement original stuff like mentioned above, you can also get some insulation from summit that is much better, or you can take the "got money to burn, overkill" method like me and dynamat it.
