I don't know Chris. I've owned a few of these trucks and none had kick panels of any sort. They were all just painted. I always paint the interiors in catalyzed enamel or catalyzed urethane help keep from scuffing as much. The first one I saw with kick panels may have been in the early 1960s. A friend bought a 1965 brand new and got the deluxe model...it had A/C and kick panels. One of the nicest pickups I've ever seen until he traded it in on a 1968. Gas mileage was comically bad but you could ride in the thing all day long and not be tired.
