question on covering the back of my cab

[KENDIG]

ok im kinda tired of having the bare metal showing behind my seats and was thinking that i want to cover it. just wondering how everyone covered their back wall? did you just tack the carpet up on it or cover something then tack that to the back wall? let me know how you did it.

i just bought some carpet at oreilly and puts some padding down and used some spray adhesive and some interior clips. looks alot better than bare metal

im also interested on this topic

my truck came with rear speakers in that wall but they were of course removed and i wanna cover my wall to get rid of the 2 holes in the wall

my truck came with some sort of rhyno linning or something, will that make it hard to cover or stick something to?

if i bought carpet for an xcab would i have enough extra to run up the back of the cab to cover it? would that work since most carpets or molded to the floor plan?

you could take some hardboard (peg board with no holes) and cut it to the right shape. put some thin foam on the back to keep it from rattling and cover the front with carpet or tweed or whatever. then find an extended cab in a junkyard and get the metal trim piece that goes below the back window.

should be a metal trim below the window..... i would get some HDF board and carpet it with little overlaping... then put it on the back wall , then put that metal trim over the overlaping carpet to keep it held up..... or just hang the carpet from behind the trim metal down....

Yea I did what ICE said in the above post, except I used some 1/8" paneling I had at home. I does not stick out as far and both achieve the same finish in the end. I guess that the HDF baord would deaden the sound a little more.....

[KENDIG]

ok dumb question, but what metal trim are you talking about that is below the window?

(very old pic of my truck)
and the metal piece he was referring to is the one that runs the width of the cab directly under the back window as seen at the top right of the pic(grey)

[KENDIG]

ok i see what you are talking about. i must not have that then because nothing on mine unbolts off

just get some carpet off an extended cab (with or without speakerholes) and hang it like factory.

[yeti_'87HB]

did the ext. cabs have a formed piece of crapet on the back wall, or was it just a straight sheet hung from the top?

[jdoe44]

My kingcab frontier has just a flat sheet of carpet on the back wall.

[sparkinframe]

just a flat sheet that hung from thw wall

ill have to look around for some carpet. it wouldnt hurt for me to put new in anyway. wish i had the metal trim in my truck to help hold it up and to have a clean look
