Kilmat Sound Deadening Pre-Cut
WOW! So as I was approaching my next phase of the #Ratty10 build to add sound deadener I wanted to research and use a brand that would be easy on the pocket, easy to apply yet compares to the top brand. Since my build is a budget build and I want to show others that they can modify and restore their own vehicles at home on a budget, I went with the brand KILMAT, sold on Amazon. It was amazing reviews and the price was definitely in my favor. Only $49.95,
The box arrived within 2-3 days and included 34 pre-cut mats and instructions. I opted out of buying or using a roller and used my hands, a self-made tool [flathead screw driver with thick cardboard adhered on for small crevices and corners] and some socket wrenches.
I laid out the sheets before adhering to my floor and firewall to see which directions and format I could use to use the least amount of mats and yet still line up effectively with minimal cutting and altering.
The last 30 minutes I even let my two young sons help apply some mats and it was easy enough they understood.
It is safe to say, we will be ordering more and using this brand on our other builds.

GSS342-400-791 With Install Kit Fuel Pump
For $79.95 plus tax, I ordered this GSS342-400-791 With Install Kit Fuel Pumps made by Walbro off Amazon and ordered through my Prime account for faster shipping.
I had a mutual friend tell me about this cheaper alternative to fit with my LS swap, new fuel tank and sending unit that they use as well for their LS conversions and trucks. Not to mention you cannot beat the 2-3 day fast shipping!

Spectra Premium Sending Unit for LS swap C10
I opted for the Spectra Premium FG05M Sending Unit for General Motors off Amazon for $114.99 plus tax and with my Amazon Prime it arrived in 2 days.
This fits great with my 1977 C10 with LS swap and a lot better on my pocket compared to auto parts stores and comes with a 30 day warranty or money back.
When purchasing, there is a left (driver side "M") and a right hand (passenger "N") side unit, so make sure you get the right part number. With my build, I ordered the "M" driver side.

Premium GM11C Fuel Tank with Baffle
Since I did a LS swap on my 1977 C10 build, I wanted a fuel tank that was the exact factory size as my original fuel tank but has the inner baffle to accommodate and be more efficient yet budget friendly for just $109.99 plus tax.
To purchase:
Premium GM11C Fuel Tank w/ Baffle
This tank comes with the O-ring and locking ring.
I purchased it mid-day and less than 24 hours later it was on my front door step. Good 'ole Amazon Prime.
Good reviews and just what I needed but you will find difficulty finding the right size hose to fit this size fuel inlet. The factory fuel tank inlet was about 1.275 inches while this Spectra GM11C Fuel Tank is 2 inches [fleetside].
While you are adding this fuel tank to your Amazon cart, go ahead and add the 2 inch hose off Amazon " Part 20339 Gates / Premium Molded Coolant Hose ". Price will run you about $12.55 plus tax.
