console or not to console? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm gonna be putting bucket seats in my 68 stepside and don't know what to put between them. Some pics and advice would be greatly appreciated. I've got the low hump, automatic on the column, seats are black and yellow, inside of the cab is black, truck will be yellow with black trim.

buddy buckets would be a good compromise if you could swing getting a set.

Brock · 08-20-2007, 05:18 PM

I've already got the seats...

Aftermarket seats need an aftermarket console. I think a stock console would look strange beside those flashy seats. Sub box console maybe? JMO....

kinda what I was thinkin'...just make one out of wood and carpet it. Was hoping for a few pictures to get ideas as to what to build.
