Two choices, find a Borg Warner overdrive fron a newer Mopar, or change the rear axle. Many use Jeep Cherokee or Ford Explorer. Overdrive is easier, but can be hard to find and expensive to buy  because of popularity. Use the search function at top of page for detailed information. Ask questions, lots of help on this site.

I chose the explorer 8.8 out of a 2002. Upgrade to rear disc (already have front) also makes working on brakes cheaper and easier. Gear is 3.73 so I can get freeway speed without the little 6 banger screaming. Its going in this weekend. Also moves the E brake to the axle instead of the drive shaft. The brake tool is spendy and for what it costs you can buy the rear, spring pads, replace the seals, calipers, rotors, brake pads and ebrake shoes and still have enough to take the better half out for a nice dinner to celebrate.

This thread had some good suggestions on carpeting and some made reference to the pre cut capets from stockinteriors.com 

There are also pre cut carpets from newstalgia at http://www.newstalgiaparts.com/search?q=1948+Plymouth+Deluxe+Cut-Sewn+Carpet+&SearchBoxButton=Search
