Consoles?
 

Here is a mock up of a console I want to fabricate so I can add cupholders and a modern radio without cutting up the dash. Question: if I put vents in the side,would that alone allow enough floor heat to pass thru,or do you think I would have to run flex hose to each vent?

Any body else have pictures of consoles you've installed?

That looks like a great mock-up. I would think that vents would allow enough heat to pass thru without having to run flexhose to them.

Looks darn good to me. I would run hoses and buy some vents out of a later model truck to direct the heat where you want it.;):metal::chevy:

I have a console in my suburban, and do not use hoses.
I think it is better to use hoses because otherwise your whole console will heat up and also the rest of your dash, I think i am going to use hoses later on.

The problem is, you probably have 4 outputs.
1 on each side and 1 in the front which directs the air to both sides.

I agree! I have a a little kaddie thing on the floor for cd's, coinage, and drinks. Nothing like blowing a bunch of hot air on your cold drinks!

I would run the hose personally...btw that mock up sure is making me hungry...Got Milk!:lol:

Try using some PVC pipe and elbows to make it more rigid.
