Which is better?

Im trying figure out whats going ot work best between my bucket seats. I have some beautiful low back 1965 Pontiac GTO seats, completely professionaly recovered in black with orginal GTO style covers.

I was orginally gonna do a custom center console, something just like this was in my head way before I saw it.Name:  IMG_4265.jpg

I really want storage space and drink holder, and look super cool and as nice as the rest of the truck does. But my little ones are always with me...and they need a safe place to sit with a seat belt......suggestions?????

I think that the little guys get the priority! Cool is good but keeping your kids safe is better.

Re: Which is better?

I have one of the traditional console but may have to sell it. My 4 speed hurst shifter on a muncie trans will not work with it installed. I am in the same quandry as what to do but do not have the child issue. The custom console is pretty nice looking if I can make one work with my shifter.
