Back wall ideas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would like to see pics of what, if anything, you all have done to the back wall of the cab.

I am working on an 85 C10. I've got the 6x9 speaker mounts and i'm looking for ideas for carpet and how to make it look neat and seamless.

thanks!

I built a triangular shaped storage bin to go behind the seat. I did not like the prefab storage units because I want to determine the size and location of the storage areas. I made the storage bins match the items I wanted to store, e.g. bottle jack, tie down straps, battery cables, spare quarts of oil, set of sockets, etc. I favor the maximum usage of behind the seat space in a regular cab instead of appearance. I built MDF triangular boxes in the corners for rear speakers and painted them black.

I put carpet on my 85. It turned out great. I used 3M spray adhesive. I'll have to try and find some pics...

I just got my cab insulated along with the back wall. I was going to carpet it, but also would like to see picks of what others have done. I need storage.

I used the original storage tray and put amp/speaker box carpet on it. And then also on the rear corner speaker bracket. Painted the covers charcoal grey.

Did you use spray adhesive to stick all the carpet down on the back wall?

The spray adhesive was used, but to apply the carpet to the tray. And then I just set the tray behind the seat.

it turned out really good especially under that rear panel just below the windshield where it curves...I'm gonna try and tackle this next...

I left about 1/4"- 1/2" of carpet of overhang from the tray. That little bit, i may have used a small amount of adhesive, I would have to go out and check to make sure. Since that carpet was nice and thick, it maybe staying up there on its own. It's been a few years since I did that project.

Carpet isn't very neat but the behind the seat shelf unit is very useful. Speaker brackets were found at the local pull-a-part and are 4x10s.
