Pulled a roached tach cluster from a 1980 4x4 stepside. It's in baaaaaad shape but I'll toss it on ebay and I'm sure someone can use the housing and tach harness.

I'm jealous! There's no places around here that even sell gasoline anymore, only E-10

I did fill up with E-10 at $3.76 today for about $70 for one tank.

Tore out the interior to install a new vinyl floor and sound deadening, installed bigblock73's 6x9 speaker brackets in the cab corners with a pair of 6x9 JLs I had lying around, sound deadened the floor, firewall, back of the cab and doors. Much more pleasant sound inside along with the Kicker 3.5s in the dash and an old 8" Bazooka tube I had lying around to put behind the seat. Zero rattles and no more scorching hot floor from the exhaust.

Nice! What did you use for sound deadening material? When doing my truck I used a product called "Lizard Skin" for sound deadening and heat reduction and overall I've been happy with it but I often wonder how much better something like Dynamat would have been.

I intend to use something like Lizard Skin on the 69 K5 underbody to block heat and sound, since we plan to bedliner the interior. On the 78 I went the cheap route to experiment, I used peel and seal to mass dampen the flat panels, approximately 30% coverage, then layered that with some 1/8" foam duct insulation to insulate against heat and higher pitched noises with almost 100% coverage. Then of course the new carpet padding and vinyl floor on top of that.

I know, I had heard all of the negative reviews of using peel and seal, such as falling during the summer heat and the asphalt smell...but I left the rolls sitting in the floorboard of my daily beater for a couple days at 100* outside temps, the smell was noticeable, but not overpowering. Once installed in the truck, there was no smell at all on a few 90* days, I believe the 100% coverage by the insulation and vinyl floor seals off any scent. If you stick your nose right above the window channel when the window is down you can get a slight whiff, but that's it. As far as the adhesive failing, I limited it's use on vertical surfaces to the doors and rear wall, and there I covered the perimeter of it with tape to give it a little help staying attached.

It made a very noticeable difference in sound and heat, for the money I have into it I am very happy. It is easier to hold a conversation while driving, and the normal radio volume setting I use while driving dropped from 20 down to about 13-14, so I don't have to have the music cranked to hear it.

I've never used the LS but I don't know how something could work better than Dynomat. I had a couple 12x12 sheets of the foil backed stuff and I put one in each door of the '77 K5. Just those little sheets made the door close much quieter... it went from a loud BANG to a soft 'thunk'.
