Rear speakers

While at the yard, I also picked up some pristine rear speakers(with the plastic trim). Has anyone ever put these in a Bullnose? Mine is a supercab, and it appears the rear panel could be cut to accept them, but I'd like to hear some advice before I start cutting.

I put rear speakers in my crew cab by using a 1996 interior and rear doors. I had put them in the original 1986 rear doors.

That sounds cool, but the ones I have came out of a standard cab, and are for the cab corners.

Bill, I think the windows handle holes aren't located the same in 1986 and 1996 cc rear door panels, am I right?

If so, how did you handle this issue?

(a) what window handles?

(b) note the window switch almost directly under the lock button.
(c) note the lack of a window divider

Those are 1996 doors, they bolted right on, and I had the inside cab wiring also so it was just a matter of drilling a hole in the pillar for the wiring harness.

Since then, I scored an extra set of chrome door handles so all 4 match.

It looks like there is a good spot in the upper interior panel at the rear corner. I'll have to take it off to see how much room is behind there.
