Anyone using a Tuffy Console
 
I picked up a set of original bucket seats for my truck and the console is shot. I was thinking of getting a Tuffy Console, they are a little more durable plus you can mount a stereo and lock it. Anyone with pics would help.
Thanks
Ron

I'm thinking about doing the same thing, if I can afford one (at ~$250 they're kinda pricey). Can't decide whether to go with an 8-inch or 10-inch width.

Here's an example, courtesy of the folks at coloradoK5, of an installation in a chopped-for-rock-crawling 1990 Blazer project vehicle: http://www.coloradok5.com/tuffy.shtml

Anyone installed one in a '69-72?

yeah i've got one. i like it. bought it off ebay for less than $200, it was in great shape. not sure if they're worth the price tag new but nice to find used if possible.

here is a pic of mine.

here is another thread about tuffy consoles also

i think bouncytruck mentioned once that the cd player may skip alot and eject motor burn out when mounted in the console because it's vertical mount. might be a moot point if you're using an ipod but it's worth mentioning.

EP what width is that?
I email www.4x4groupbuy.com/ about price on the 12.5" stereo security #017 the price I was quoted was $210 + shipping.
Not too bad, now I just have to save a bit.

Is there still plenty of room between the setas?
Thanks

nope...pretty much no room at all. the console fills in the entire space. the armrests from my seats are right up against it when they fold down.

I have the series II between Mastercraft Rubicon seats and it fits alot of stuff to include my steering wheel. I take my steering wheel off when I take my kids to the movies. I would weld the seams before installing it, that is the only weak point. Ohh and the price
