I think I bought a 100sq ft. to do my blazer. I put it down, front to back, side to side, also up the bed sides, under the dash and door panels...had ust enough left to do the doors on another truck.

 but, that was a blazer...i dont see why 50sq ft shouldnt be enough

Depends on how many layers you want..one layer helps a lot, but most areas I prefer 2-3 layers..i'd go for atleast 50 sq ft, if not 100..100 will give you plenty for mistakes, double layering the floorboards up to the firewall, and smaller future projects.

Jeff did this recently on his truck.  He used 70 sq ft.  Check here: http://73-87.com/7387garage/interior/sound_deadening.htm

Most of them work the same, Brown Bread is good and fairly cheap. E-dead is also good and reasonably cheap, AND comes in a liquid form as well. I like using a liquid deadener on the entire interior of the cab, then one layer of mat on some of the less guilty panels, two layers on the floorboards and firewall.
