Center Consoles
For those of you that went with a non OEM center console, what did you use? I have having a hard time finding something that will fit well; the high hump and shift boot limits the choices. I'd really like something that locks securely as well. What did you guys use, pics are a bonus.

I've looked into the Tuffy boxes, though haven't purchased one.

tuffy lock boxes FTW. I love mine.

Re: Center Consoles
Tuffy makes great stuff, but I am not sure they are worth the premium they charge. I had a Tuffy box in my Jeep, and I loved it. That said, I don't know if it was worth the $70 over what my buddy paid for the same box made by Bestop.
Thinking about this, but I'll have to fab a mounting plate, and even with the plate the console will come to the very front of the 4wd shift boot. |

Re: Center Consoles
Another vote for Tuffy, they are very secure, not sure even a drill could get through the locking mechanism on this thing. They are spendy though...... here is as close a shot as I can find. I chose the cup holder route, versus the stereo.
about half way down this thread you'll see a shot http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=535791 |

Re: Center Consoles
I ended up getting this one:
 Smittybilt 31715 Denim Black Security Floor...I like the one you bought, but that is too long for me. To the front of my 4WD shift boot is 24", so 27 is obviously too long. You positive that will work in yours? I got mine Used on amazon for $73 shipped. I'll post pictures when I get it mounted. Quote:

Re: Center Consoles
I just got an early 90's lockable bronco console at a junk yard for $10. Drill 4 holes and bolts right up.

My console came today. I took some photos of it just sitting there to give you and idea of the size/fit and finish. In my 2wd automatic it fits fine. If I had a 4wd I think I would need to relocate my seat belts to make more room.

Interesting thread and appears to be a good place to toss my questions in.
Does anyone have installed pictures of the 69-72 console Hickey offered? Anyone have the actual measurements from which a replica could be made. The tuffy looks like a nice option but I am exploring the flat top full opening design as a radio hole is not desired. |
Re: Center Consoles
You know there is Tuffy boxes with and without the separate radio compartment

Re: Center Consoles
why not build something custom? and just get a little lock box for valuables
