Question firewall plate

Hello,
I have an 89 7.3 F350 4X4 5 speed. When I push in the clutch I hear a flixing(cracking) noise. I read awhile back about a fire wall plate to make it stronger because of the flex due to the use of the clutch petal. Where will I find it on the truck to see if it has one? Where can I get one if it doesn't?
Thanks,

here are the part numbers you need. If you have any flexing you look around booster area and see how bad it is. If there is only a small crack order and install the E8TZ-A kit. If it is a large crack use the E3TZ-B kit.
