About Our Ford Truck Rear Cab Cover Kit
Rod Doors’ rear cab cover kit for 1953–1956 Ford small‑window trucks is molded from American-made durable ABS plastic and designed to fit directly into the factory location once the gas tank is removed. The pre-trimmed panel can be painted, vinyl dyed, or upholstered to match your interior — whatever suits your style.
This cover not only gives the cab a clean, finished appearance but also hides the exposed braces behind the seat and fills the lower corners where tools often fall and damage the steel. The result is a smooth, upgraded finish that helps protect the cab from dents on the lower outside corners.

On the whole, the installation went fairly well. Getting the sides of the corner panels attached to the pinch welds on the door jambs was a little tricky and I used a screw on the bottom of each side to hold the corner panels in place.
The center section was more forced in than finessed.
It looks good, except the gaps where the center section joins the corner sections. Gaps are a little wide at the bottom and tight at the top. I will probably use some vinyl welt cord to match that.
I did not buy the headliner so have the cardboard headliner. Not the look I want, but the Rod Doors headliner looks like a bear to install. Anything we do to these trucks is pricey.
