Re: to center console or not

Jrainman,

It is going to be your back and your rear that is going to be sitting in those seats for a 1000 miles a week.....id go for comfort and safety over looks.

I have some high back bucket seats in one of my trucks just for the simple fact that I could not live with myself if my wife ever got rear ended and ended up in the hospital from smacking her head on the back glass all because I was afraid someone would think my truck looked 'tacky'
And for a daily driver, you will find a center console VERY handy!
If you are afraid of drilling holes in your floor, you can do what I did. I just made a simple bracket out of strap metal and bolted it to the seat brackets. Then mounted the console to the bracket. It also gave me the flexability to make a bracket so I could raise the console up so I can use it as an arm rest. And remove it quickly if needed. Or change to a different console.

Build your truck to be used. Not just looked at...

Update us when you get pics with the seat in!
