Ha! Proof that nobody likes to read signatures... There's nothing from Ford trucks there, but there are other trucks shown there.

It depends on how much work you want to do. Replacing the factory 6x8 or 5x7 or 6x9 (whatever size they are) with a prefabbed plate and 6.5 or 5.25 components is pretty simple. A few screws here and there, maybe an amp install with some dynamat or similar to seal up and slow the doors down abit. The sounds of using a rice bag, makes me think of building a custom enclosure, probably fiberglass to go where they sounded the nicest. Glassing boxes is a little more noticeable (starts to scream steal me at some point) and is a bit more work. Again it comes down to what you want. Also take a look at Q-Forms, they might still be doing the kick panels. They get secured over the stock kick panels and put your speakers down there. It would be a decent compromise work wise. I don't know how they sound though.
