Go to yahoo and run a search for "1972 chevy custom console". There is a web, i cant remember what its called though. They sell prefrabricated fiberglass consoles for bench and bucket trucks (1967-1972) trucks.

724x4a/cchevy · 12-23-2003, 01:33 AM

Heres what i found bench consoles

DanoDMano · 12-23-2003, 01:43 AM

So they ship it to you with no cutouts?? $175 sounds steep for a molded piece of fiberglass???

I like his example in the tan truck though, Sweet!!

Harley, I have been looking for the same thing...I guess I will have to design my own.

Andy4639 · 12-23-2003, 07:59 AM

I saved this from someone here awhile back, just incase I ever decided to build one. I haven't done it yet but here is what I have.
Hope this helps you out.

I made one from cardboard duct tape and then fiber glass and fiber bondo! Then paint or material!
Looks great and it held everything even a 10" JLA
Cheers

I just built a console for my 72' that fits between my Honda Civic Buckets I got. I just used Plywood and some heavy duty screws. I'll post pics when i get it carpeted. Took about 3 hours to make. I would think you can make a console to fit your needs yourself pretty easily with basic tools. Just make a template out of Cardboard and Tape and go from there.

Just thought i'd try to help you guys out!
