I've been looking at the high and low mount aftermarket brackets. Are there stock brackets off a car that will work to raise it up? I can hit the junkyard pretty much every day.

That's nothing out of the ordinary given the brown sludge that was in there.
You're making great progress with the truck!
Check the little scrolls in the back side of the timing case around the water passages are not filled up.
This is your last defense against water pouring into the oil if you have a leak there.
At least it pisses to the outside where you can see it,

"Quiet" is not really quiet.
There is still some noise from steel gears even if they are helically cut.
The plastic coated factory ones in a 4.9l are pretty quiet.
Those look straight cut so it's going to howl like a blower on a drag car.
I hope you have a very loud stereo if you install those.
There's even a little noise from a roller chain that you don't get with the Hy-Vo type multi-plate stock chain.

I couldn't find a Hy-Vo chain and sprockets anywhere around here. Everything was double roller or some variant thereof. Are the Hy-Vo chains any better?

They are cheaper to make, and perhaps a little quieter.
I have the 1122 chain on my truck and I'm happy with it.
At least there aren't shards of nylon clogging my pickup screen.
It took me almost an hour to clean all that stuff out when I had the pan off.
