I Need Some Behind The Seat Pics...Carpet? or What

The previos owner decided that the back of the cab needed to be coverd with some vinal dimond(Gross). I ripped it out to discover that he used some sort of spray glue to hold it on. After cleaning for an hour to get the glue off I noticed that the old cardboard shelf has seen some better days. What is the way to go here. Rip it out and replace with carpet? I am going to be ripping out the old speakerboxes and fabbing up a set of 6x9 holders for the corners but I would like to clean up the back of the cab. What have you guys done.,

Check out the speaker boxes that BigBlock73 does. He bulid them nice and they all seem to fit perfect and he is very reasonable on cost. Paint those your body collor along with the whole lower area and you will be rockin. Here is my selfless plug!
