Not a full size square, but here's one I built for my S-10 (baby square). The same method could be used for a C-10 or any car/truck for that matter. The basic shape (sides) was setup with thin plywood, braced the inside, wrapped the outside with fleece, added gobs of fiberglass, and sanded for days. After everything was smooth the console was covered with foam, vinyl, and carpet. I used the same method as building a fiberglass subwoofer box. Sorry for the poor cell phone picture, the better pics are on my dead laptop.

Forgot to add........The dash was built in the same fashion.
