Regular Cab - Behind Seat Storage

Hey TW,

Looking for any advice on storage solution for behind the seat on a regular cab. I understand that it may limit the amount I can slide the seat back, but Im only 5'10 with short legs so I have it decently forward...

I really like something like the image below, but cant seem to find anything.

Please advise/ Thanks!




**** UPDATE 3/11/18***

I successfuly purchased the rear pannels from a 2009 DCSB from offer up for 35 bucks and installed them into my 2011 regular cab.

Some Notes because I could not find this information in a search:

• This is nearly a direct fit.
• The clips on the pannels snap into the existing holes in the sheetmetal.
• The holes for the M6x1 fasteners line right up.
• The seat still slides back all the way without any interference from the panels.
• There are no panel gaps EXCPT near the top corners of the cubby pannels.
  • I expect this to be resolved with some light trimming.
• YOU MUST REMOVE:
  • Middle seatbelt
  • Child seat restriants
  • Bottle Jack Mount
  • Tool Kit with rubber strap

I have only taken one picture so far, but I will take more when I remove them to install some sound deading materials behind it...

 

I think those come from behind the seats of a Double cab truck. Find them in the junkyard or from another member?

 

That's the backseat of a double cab, not sure if they make anything like that for a single cab

 

Yeah I know its from a double cab, I wanted to use these but from what I can find theyre not direct bolt in...

If anyone has any info on this or anything like it I'd be stoked.

This is what I'm getting, assuming you have a bench seat. I know you can't get too crazy weight wise but you can organize it pretty well I'll bet.

 

Reg cab guys have stuck the Double cab bins behind the seats with good results. Idk how they secure the bins or whatever though.

 

Well thats good because I just bought some from a DC hoping that I could modify them and make it fit.
They look like they will fit well, but I will have to remove the jack and stuff behid the seat and middle seat belt.

 

The thread that seemed to start it all:

I thought I remembered that thread. When I searched for it I was only within the regular cab thread.

ethanfiamingo thanks.

 

How did you remove the bottle jack mount? It seems to be welded on.

 

A few posts up someone mentioned drilling out the rivets

 

Does this mean drilling all the way through the back plate?

 

I honestly have no idea. I've been waiting for a local set of bins to start this project myself haha

 

Ha, gotcha. I probably won’t get to it til Monday, but I’ll let ya know... if someone else doesn’t chime in first

 

Would this mod work on an access cab or only regular cabs?

 

You can wrangle the jack bracket off with some prying and pulling, no drilling required. It is just a few spot welds, easy to break them free.
