Ways to reduce the clanking of metal

[steve aleve]

I am sure there are some posts about this but I couldn't find one that seemed to answer it best.

I have swapped a 1954 3100 onto an S-10 frame with a 5.3 and 4l60E. The truck seems to be running pretty good and cruises real nice (even got up to 75 on the freeway).

Now what I am bothered with is that it still sounds like a bucket of bolts when I hit any bump at all. I am thinking I need to go back and install a fender gasket set to help reduce this but I am not sure how quiet I can expect to get a 63 year old truck (body).

Any hep you can provide would be appreciated!
