47-55.1 stereo install in AD cab, my ideas

[leegreen]

yeah that is someone on here. I have a floor shifter and sooner or later would ram my fist into that setup.
I see they cut out the divider between the speaker and ash tray in dash and made room for a gauge. This is something I thought about doing, but I need a place for two small gauges (Tach and AF ratio) and that would have been too tight.

I'm still undecided on those gauge locations, either below lower left edge of dash or above rear view mirror. Leaning towards a small roof console, probably incorporate a couple reading lights. But it would be nice to house a screen for camera system there too and suddenly it is not a small console any more.
This dilemma of where to put gauges is what led to me starting on stereo install....once I determined gauges would not fit there I went ahead and built that spot for a head unit in my dash, but then let speaker mounts distract me from the gauge question.
