Just droppin in and sayin HI...glad we can still "talk" trucks!!

How is the console coming??

Hey Jeff. Console is close. I need to find some duct for the heater, vents for the duct too. I have looked everywhere for some nice black plastic cup holders, or something which will function as cup holders. No luck so far.

I'm going to look some more today for a few things. I need to get all the holes cut for this stuff before I get them covered.

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Mike, I don't remember. Are you covering that console in black carpet like the rest of the interior? What type of carpet are you using? I'm trying to find a good material to cover my dash and eventually a console and am having a hard time finding something thin enough. Normal carpet is just too thick.

Scott,

I'm planning on covering it with black vinyl. I would like to go with leather, but it wouldn't match anything else I've got.

BigRed, you said you were looking for some black carpet but couldnt find any thin enough try looking for some at a car stereo shop they have different types and colors of very thin carpet that they use on boxes. If not they should be able to tell you where to get some.

Mike,

Have you tried looking at a marine supply house for cup holders, I don't know exactly what you are looking for but they have a pretty good selection.

I did a quick search and came up with these.

Thanks guys for the info! I am looking for thin carpet. Good idea about going to a stereo shop for carpet. I'm actually looking for a tan color, so maybe I'll get lucky. I'm going by a auto interior shop today to find out what that guy has for me too.

Ken,

that is exactly what I'm searching for. I am after the single 3" cup holders. Thanks for the link. Now I know where to look. I'll call all the local boating places to see what they have.

Thanks for you help.

Mike
