So I was looking around the interior of my ride and desperatly trying to find a place to install my radios when I felt that the only way to make it look really clean was to build and entirely new console. A trip to Home Cheapo and a stop at RadioShack and JoAnn ect. and I was fully ready to begin. I made the frame and sides out of 1/2" cabinet grade plywood, covered the whole thing with marine vinyl, nice foam armrest, some cupholders from Amazon and the end result is a sweet install for my radios, phone and iPod chargers, and a little tray for various other things. Also while I had the interior ripped apart I put my emergency lighting switches in the A-pillar to get them out of the way. Enjoy!

The center console is a thing of beauty but not feeling the switches location..Really nice job

The switches on the A-pillar are only for the emergency lights that I use when responding to a call. Off road lighting will be controlled by switches on the the console. Just havent had a chance to put them in yet...
 






Good job. I usually don't like full custom consoles because they look so cheap and crappy, yours is not crappy.
I like the switches as well.
 






man what a nice job of this truck congrats to this fabulus job looks so nice..
