Larry:

From the factory the cab ceiling already has a layer of insulation sandwiched between the inner and outer roof panels. Also, the surface of the FatMat is shiny and smooth and will not take paint very well and when applied it is not perfectly smooth or seamless, so it will not be a very nice surface, if painted.

There is a company that makes door panels, kick panels and headliners for the '60-'66 Chevy trucks, however these items are not offered by the usual suspects in the aftermarket. You can get them from:

Tony, that is a very good link.
I was un-aware that those were out there. I had seen some but thought they were custom.
Good to know

Painted might not look good as Tony stated, but cover it up with some sort of headliner.
