55.2-59 Prefabricated consoles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I saw a couple of companies that make and sell pre made consoles. Does anyone know of a company that sells for 59 Chevy that fits well?

You could make your own. Here’s one I made for a 69 Camaro. Not hard 1/2 plywood then covered with 1/4 foam n then vinyl. That way you get exactly what you want.

Not to hijack but I've been wondering if any aftermarket under-dash valance exists before I try to make one on my own.

That would be pretty close to perfect for me. I have a 59 with bucket seats and it has the air conditioning plenum box running along at the bottom of the dash.

I made mine from plywood and 1/4" board. just haven't decided on color or material to cover it with.
