Hey Everyone!

What is good way to cover/carpet the rear of the cab where the tank was? I was thinking maybe a sheet of wood, but was wondering if there was maybe a better option that someone has done?

You can do that and use a quality carpet that matches. It would be very easy and cheap too. I have done a lot of "slant boards" for stereos and used it to mount things with great results.

You could purchase a kit from "Roddoors". to fill in the back area and then cover it to match your interior.

You could put something like this back there, & when you turn it up you get a back massager.

I had the same thought, some 3/8 plywood and some standard black carpet. All for about 20 bucks. No need for big speakers when you have a 454 bb screamin
