panel truck interior

Hello,
Could use a little insight on how do the interior in the back of my panel truck. Just would like to cover up the ugly mess. Don't want to make it the holiday inn. Just want it to be more presentable to the eye . Any help, advice or pictures . Thanks

Old school surfer vans used paneling or carpet. On my 73 econoline I glued fiberglass insulation between the ribs and covered with paneling. Later I glued carpet over the walls and th floor. If you want industrial you could cover with galvanized sheet metal. Insulation was a helpful thing.

Paneling or thin plywood such as luan or birch is what I have always seen that works well.

Mine didn't have any interior in 1974 when purchased, I just did the insulation and paneling. Paneling isn't really designed for exterior use and went to hell after 10 years so it got removed and I just sprayed the inside with Zolatone.
