Well, now that there's no choice, I notched out a 2'x3' 5/4 glued edge board from Menards to make a new perch for my girl. The regular cab Silverado has those blasted 60/40 seats with the rigid seat belt fasteners jutting out. Dog can't lay down like on the old bench seats, these seats are the ones with the side "wings" for lumbar support. So, propped up the front edge with an old milk crate and a length of wood, stuffed some old wool blanket under the rear of the board, then folded two old wool blankets and put 'em on top. Other than the lack of power windows so she can stick her nose out [it's a work truck], it's quite workable. Last time I took her out, she had to sit upright the whole 30 minutes. The return was just as long, so that wasn't good.
Just whacked off some old 11 1/2 inch wide board into two 5 5/8 wide by 60 inch long pieces [goes from side to side], did the same for two 33 inch long by 5 5/8 inch [front and back pieces fit between wheel wells]. Going to make a "box" that fits over the rear wheel wells [think of tic tac toe] so I can keep my sand pigs over the rear axle. Ever brake hard and have the frozen sand pigs slide forward? Or the sand pigs are up against the tail gate, where they are past the rear axle, so it's like a pendulum?
