Good place to mount any toggle switches, too, should you find yourself incorporating them in your truck.

Want to see those pics when you get to them, this is a cool idea!

I'll be interested in how it turns out. I'm going to build one come spring once I swap some buckets in. Debating on different ideas for how to do it.

I hope you guys keep us posted...Before this summer I want to completely redo my interior--the original is getting worn out...I'd like to maybe get some buckets and a console out of a '70's era Ford....Something to put a CD player and some speakers in,and what the heck,cup holders and change holders for the toll booth...Another thing I considered was going all out and putting power windows in,with the switches in the console...

Remember take your time and do an awesome job.
Then take and post some awesome photos with measured drawings so we can copy it and put one in our trucks!!!

I made one for my 71. Have bucket seats and i made it to come down from dash and then back between the seats. Covered it with carpeting and put my guages and stereo in it.Put a slot in it for my b7m shifter to stick up through.
