VA Custom Restored Center Console - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BMERDOC · 10-10-2015, 07:28 PM

I came into a pile of consoles and some were not worth restoring because of grain damage so I had a buddy wrap one to test the interest in such a console. The vinyl we are using is the correct grain to match the seat upholstery. I can either have them fully wrapped or just the lid and upper half wrapped with the lower half painted to match. I have cupholder consoles too. I have one set of billet cupholders for a cupholder console and am looking into French stitching for the corners. Pricing varies depending on how one is ordered and I'll only have them done as ordered. Considering this one is a test piece I'll let it go for $425 plus shipping. I have not installed the latch or lid strap yet. You have your choice of GMC or either style bowtie emblems for the lid.

That looks great! Wish I could afford some buckets!

Thanks! I'd like to do one for myself too. I have several bucket sets but I've already redone a nice bench for mine and don't care to sink money into buckets at the moment. I've got too many other things on my truck that need doing to do something twice.

That's where I'm at, too. My truck was originally a CST bucket seat truck, but someone took them out. I'd like to have them back in, but I've also thought about just redoing the bench to CST upholstery and call it good.

That looks very nice, and seems like a good option to save worn consoles.

Thanks. It was my friends first attempt at such a complicated piece so its not absolutely perfect but it will look very nice sitting in between a set of nice buckets. I can't wait to see it installed. I hope we can do more in the future in more colors. I have several ideas for consoles that should look just as nice and appear factory.
