Does someone know what goes behind the seat in a 46 pickup? Looks like it should be a metal panel or card board like the kick panels. Does anyone reproduce them.

From what I could find out they never had any cover. I made one from plastic laminate because I insulated the back cab wall. You could use metal card board etc. If your window ever leaked cardboard might not bethe best choice.

The only finish panels on the inside back of cab other than around the rear window are two simple rounded panels that fit in the corners. The rest of the cab frame "skeleton" is exposed. The seat hides all of the unfinished looking areas.

I know why he asks. There are punched holes in the ribs. Maybe GM considered a cover at one time.

It does make you think.

Thanks that's exactly why I asked I was thinking of making a panel up out of 20 gauge and give a gray hammer coat finish with the rest of the interior.

I figured there should be one there too on my '40. Give us a picture when your done. I will probably do a panel too if I go with buckets. Sounds like you might be replacing the stock seat with buckets so that it will show?
