79 Regular Cab Behind Seat

I need some suggestions of what to put on the rear cab wall after the sound deadening install. Something attractive as this is a total frame up restoration. I cant seem to find anything on this. Black interior. Candy Apple Red and Wimbleton White is the exterior colors.
Thanks in advance!

You could do what I did and have an upholstery shop make a cover from you carpet and velcro it to the back wall.

Good Idea

I could do that and maybe use the seat/headliner material on some thin wood maybe. Thanks!!

I made a trim panel and covered with carpet for the center section to cover the dynamat.

I found a carpet that had a sewed border (across the top) that worked for me. Here is a cool FTE member trick, carry the carpet on around and then use some old chrome headliner trim and trim it out.

Got the behind the seat OEM Red carpet out of 1995 Ford F-150 Regular Cab from local junk yard and installed in my 1977 F-150 Regular Cab, worked perfectly since my 1977 came from the factory with the behind the seat gas tank, that I removed back in 2017. I was able to use the existing bolts that mounted the top of the gas tank to mount the carpet.
