The Corners inside the Cab???
Just curious what some have done with the area in the cab corners, the area behind the doors. Almost seems like Ford should have used a panel here. Any ideas?

a truck with bucket seats did have something that went over the gas tank to hide it. i dont know if it hide the corner area or not. you could put soem carpet over the area with anice trim on top to hide the carpet edge.

Re: The Corners inside the Cab???
Bondo aint gonna cover that hole.
I have been trying to think of a nice way to fill up that hole myself. I bet it contributes to the road noise in the cab a good bit. I am sure it could be filled up with some sound deadening and then covered up with carpet or something else pretty easily.
Once I decide if I am going to replace the cab in my 71 F100 with my spare cab or just fix the stock one I will finish the sould deadening in the floor and the areas we are talking about.

That's just a single picture I saved several years ago from an E-bay listing, I believe. I just thought it was a good idea and saved if for reference material.

Re: The Corners inside the Cab???
That does look nice! I have thought about cutting out some panels out of some headliner type material and bending them to fit in the corners and attaching them with some trim screws. Just a thought.

Re: The Corners inside the Cab???
That is nice but I still have a gas tank back there. Just never saw enough reason for me to move it. Might some day if I ever go with buckets but don't see it happening.

Subwoofers?
Some 8inchers might fit. Set them up for low frequencies only to get a little bump in the bump. Good spot to "rattle the can"![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
