1st Gen Speakers (behind the seat)

I am planning to install speakers behind the seat in the cab of my first gen truck. I would like to add these to accomodate my new chrysler combo radio/tape/cd player that I bought off of ebay. I went to walmart and bought a pair of 6x9's, but after looking at how to mount them I am not particularly happy with the fit. Is there anyone that has a parts truck with speakers(and associated mounting pieces) or has removed the factory speakers to install nicer speakers. I have read complaints about the factory speakers, but I am much more concerned about the look than the sound. They have to be better than no speakers!

Please help, speakerless in Illinois.

Dan

P.S. My wonderfull wife bought me a HX35 with a 16cm housing from Piers for Christmas, so I am really on the way now!!!
