I'm just wondering what you guys are doing for the area around the back window? I know you can order headliners but i see some guys have fabric on there, are you gluing it on or something else? Just been curious for awhile, post them up!

I am painting mine as the rest of the interior. I am considering filling the hollow area around the rear window with some kind of foam like Crazy Stuff.

I would be careful filling gaps with expanding foam, they can trap moisture and rust out your truck.
Any ideas? Does anyone have it wrapped in something?

If not foam perhaps fiberglass batten.

That would still hold condensation and or water.

I'm not positive what I will use on this build to insulate that area but it will be one of the automotive products that are out now. I'm leaning towards Dynamat or the spray on Lizzard skin at the moment.

I am looking at doing the same. Bow-type headliner with removable panels make of thin masonite held by trim screws, velcro, or magnets. Trims screws it they way it would have been done and the way cars of this vintage are done in the sail panel area. A little extra material would be tucked in behind the rear window gasket for a finished look.

I don't know how you would slide Dynamat up in there unless you didn't peal of the backing. Without the backing removed I don't know how it would stay up there.
BTW you should try Second Skin; it performs as well as Dynamat at less the cost.
