Greetings Rick and Marsha!

I faced a similar dilemma with my '64 Overlander.  A trip to my local 
custom mattress shop solved the problem beautifully.  Most larger 
metropolitan areas have custom mattress builders who will build one of 
their "standard" mattresses to fit within your dimensions.  In my 
case, Lebeda Mattress < http://www.lebeda.com/ >, provided me the 
opportunity to select from a wide variety of firmness as well as 
pillow or smooth top mattresses -- there was a modest charge of $75 
per mattress for custom sizing/production.  I was so happy with the 
mattresses that I purchased for my Overlander that I later ordered a 
new King bed for home from the same series of bedding.  Try looking in 
the Yellow Pages for your nearest metropolitan area for Mattress 
Manufacturers -- there will likely be several that you can visit to 
try the product before making your decision.

Good luck with your search!
