Does anyone have a pic with it chopped and something fabbed up behind the rear seat to close it back up. I've been thinking a few different things for this one is possible using the back hatch

Thanks

Do you have any pics of the back. I would like to see one with the rear sealed up to keep the cold out and what not

Definately. a step by step of this would be an awesome thread. i'm not afraid to put the sawZall/welder to my rig, but i would atleast like a genearl idea of where and when to cut, to minimize un-repairable damage.

Before!
& After! This is parts truck so just doing some experimenting, Never sewed the back end back together! Just cut right where the rear window wouldve started, If I do to my Real Rig I'd def try to close it up& Document my every step! Good luck!

Moved to Chat.

This has been covered and many pics have been posted. No real need to post more, just search a bit.

I didn't keep the rear seats. Used the space for tools and parts.

Did you happen to recently buy this, or are you the one selling it? Pretty sure this was for sale recently and made me wish I'd had the money lol.
