rear cab wall question
Im thinking of putting a shovel/ax mount on the interior rear wall under the sliding window. This is a 1990 f250 standard cab by the way. I was wondering if the rear wall is hollow with space between the interior and exterior wall. I dont want to bolt the mount on and crush the gap in between the walls. Can anybody tell me?

There are 2 portions to the wall but they don't cover the whole surface IIRC, you will find an inner frame made of stamped sheet metal and an outer skin, and you need to mount to the inner frame portion only.
P.S. I just looked at another thread that had a picture of the rear wall of an extended cab with a bracket on it and there doesn't appear to be much of an interior framework, I believe most of the rear wall of the cab is a single layer of sheet metal and any holes you put in it are straight through to the outside.. so you will have to weather proof accordingly.

Is there access holes to sneak a nut and washer back there?
