I was poking around looking for carpet when I found these guys:

They make the rear panels just in velour with or without pleats. My '89 Silerado has vinyl rear panel but think these would work if yours were trashed.
They also have interior kits that look right and I did get a fabric sample.
Spot on for color and material. I'm ordering the seat covers and I'll let you know how it goes.

Please do. Prices look decent, and my rear panels are shot, too. In fact, this brings up a question I wanted to ask anyway...

See new post around this one someplace, too...
 
I think these are high too. Do most people just make them? I guess it's a matter of upholstering them, yeah?
 
Most people just make their own out of paneling or such then covering them in automotive carpet, or cut them out of a sheet of diamond plate aluminium or similar.
 
Did you get the seat covers? If so had did they look?
I order some from Classic Industries and they where cheap material and did not match, so I sent them back.
Here they are after I bought the right materal and had them recovered.

Here are the rear panels that I made and had covered.

Teck, yours turned out perfect but then your truck is spotless.
I just found decent front seat cores so I'll be ordering up the seat upholstery soon. The seat foam on mine are shot so needed good foam before I ordered the covers.
My truck is just a nice driver/light duty trail truck so I'm not going for show quality.
Classic Ind stuff has always been kinda crap. When I was still doing muscle cars in late '80s/early '90s, I avoided them like the plague. It was always kinda close but not quite.
