    Hi everyone,

    Hoping to get some ideas as to ways to secure stuff behind the front seats of my Access cab. I don't have the rear seats and see that there's plugs for where the seat belts would attach. I bought eye bolts for these holes and thought maybe I could use a bungee cord or net of some sort to hold stuff against the back panel below the rear window. The bungee cord didn't work: I need another hook of sorts above the eye bolt. Was wondering if anyone installed a hook or tie down on the inside door panel with a molly bolt or similar? I thought that if I had another hook or eye bolt about 12 inches above the lower one I could attach a cargo net or something as one option. As always, many thanks!

    What are you trying to secure in the back? How about a dog platform even if you don’t have a dog. I made one like the picture in post #1. You could probably make your legs shorter since you do not have rear seats.

    I leave my dog at home when I go to Costco and throw most everything on the dog platform for the trip home.

    Hi, well I ended up making a platform back there but first thought of using those covered up seat belt holes from the rear seat delete.

    What is the diameter of the bolt? Or what size bolt is it that?
