Removing The Back Seat Of Your Extra Cab For More Room.
Permalink  
 


Hey Y'all,

I am at Bob Riddick Roofing this week in VA. While there today we decided to ACize his newest of two SoftWash Systems trucks. One big issue was that they were carrying tooooo much in the bed of the truck. This not only causes unneeded clutter but it also keeps the truck bed from drying out and this in combination with the chems we use rot out the bed and damage the aluminum on the skid extensively.

I introduced a concept we use to use at Mallard Systems where we would remove the back seat to clear out needed room for dry storage of equipment cluttering the bed. Here are some shots of the modification.

Enjoy!

AC

We also added a section of 4" PVC for storing their carbon fiber pole from the UV sun and chems.

If you leave your doors unlocked in Philly overnight they actually do the same thing. Only problem is....the engine and tires will be missing too.

Went ahead and did the same thing. I have the eye wash and first aid kit coming In tomorrow.  I'm also putting in a bin for paper work ,msds sheets, and other marketing material.

If your going to do this it is fairly easy. The hardest part is getting the seats out. With all fords and most other makes there is 3 clips behind the back seat rest.  Take a long screwdriver and push straight down and pull. They will pop right out. 

 

If you have a f250 supercab I have all the dimensions for this build. Bottom is 54 wide 32 long ( from front to back). A 2x4  on the bottom as your support( I have a 2x6 and the front is raised slightly becuase i left the factory subwoofer in,I like loud music). I would also suggest cutting a 1" piece to put directly in the middle of the floor up against the back wall of the truck. The supports are the tether straps from the truck. I bent them at 90 degrees. The uprights are 29 inches high 2x4s. I also used L brackets at the bottom as well. The back board is 29 high x 54 wide. 

Then I used 5/8 for the holder moldings around the edges. Front piece=54 long, two side pieces are 32 long. Should take about 2-3 hrs for the whole build from start to finish. This includes taking the seats out. If you need help or have questions give me a call. 

List of material needed, 2- 4x8 sheets of plywood or osb board. I used 5/8 osb board.

2- 2x4x8's

2- 1x1x8's

2 inch screws and three L brackets. 

3 - 1 1/2 inch lag bolts.

You should see if Bob Riddick has some shag carpet left. I assume at some point he had a van with water bed in the 70's

Makes a HUGE difference Mike. I noticed you even utilized the bolts the same way. Great job.

Here is the shot with the eye wash station and first aid kit. I might put up a divider where the eye wash end and move the first aid kit to face you when you open the door. Also I can put my bin for paperwork and msds sheets and everything else we need. I going to go work on that now as a matter of fact.

I have to put down some carpet to stop some of the sliding. Also I think I need some sound damping material between the osb board and the truck wall.

Mike, would carpet really stop the plastic buckets from sliding, or would something like a rubber neoprene work better?

Well I have the carpet so I will try that first. If it dosent work than I will most likely rhino line it but I can't do it now becuase that truck is an active plow truck.

Carpet works great. I used the "ribbed" indoor/outdoor runner stuff you cut yourself at Home Depot. Carpet also absorbs water, instead of it running all over, but then dries up fairly fast. It is also easy and cheap to replace. I carpeted the base and the back wall. Gives your truck a little more "pro" look. Customers will see the inside of the truck, too. Many of them are curious enough to look your rig over.
