I am thinking about getting some of that foil backed butyl rubber mat and covering the whole floor as a sound/heat barrier. It is self-adhesive, so it would stick over the holes and seal them against moisture/dirt intrusion.

Any better suggestions?
That is exactly what I do to "cover" extra holes. I do that because it is in the same vein as what the factory did with all of the unused factory holes on these trucks. They used an asphalt looking material on the inside.
