i think it turned out pretty decent just have to get the Stewart Warner gauges hooked up ... i wrapped it with marine grade vinyl and under it is a half inch foam pad to give it that plush look...thought id show you guys what i was working on

Kurt L · 10-19-2013, 08:47 PM

i like your console great. also gotta comment on your cb radio i have two of them also.if you ever need parts.

Sacramento70 · 10-19-2013, 08:48 PM

actually im looking for a mic if you got one

**allchevy58** · 10-19-2013, 11:20 PM

Console looks nice.

Chulisohombre · 10-22-2013, 04:14 PM

Nice work. Looks pretty cool. I like the new air channels for heat.

SamMargritz00 · 10-22-2013, 05:39 PM

That looks awesome! Good job. I was wanting to do something like that for mine but went with the tuffy lock box instead. Maybe someday I might add a center console to the lock box that extends to the dash.

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-22-2013, 07:50 PM

looks good makes transfer case shifter look sporty also. Nice job on it!!

AHowe88 · 10-22-2013, 10:59 PM

Love it! Any other pics? Very well done. I have been envisioning something similar.

Sacramento70 · 10-22-2013, 11:11 PM

Thanks guys the replies make me feel like i did something right ...ill post more pics of it tmoro ...its not a hard build but getting all the angles and measurements can be time consuming plus i used 1 piece of vinyl and its a ***** to stretch it around all the curves

My other project is under the knife :lol

Hey Sac70, guess I should be luck you don't own a 71........ I would have had to come up with a different name!

Saw you online, wanted to introduce myself. Name is Nick, live along the American and enjoy car/truck events, swap meets, etc. If you hear of any, let me know, I'll do the same.

I`ll be looking for your Blazer!

Nick

Sacramento70 · 10-23-2013, 01:48 AM

good to meet you nick glad to hear theres other sac owners out there near me they seem scarce these days ....blazers are becoming the new chevelle's ( hard to find )

SACRAMENTO 71 · 10-23-2013, 11:39 AM

Thanks Man, I'm always interested in meeting people with the same passions, hopefully sooner than later there will be a good reason for us too meet.

Till then, Nick

AHowe88 · 10-24-2013, 04:05 PM

How far back to the sides go under the dash? How did you attach it? Please know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I'll definitely be stealing your idea...

The sides go about an inch and half past the lower portion of the dash and i didnt attach it anywhere , its pressure fitted and seems to stay in place very well , i wanted to be able to get it out easy in case i needed to work on the stereo .....i welcome and encourage others to use my ideas , thats why i posted it, i get alot of info and ideas on the forums myelf

Sacramento70 · 02-06-2014, 04:21 PM

And for my newest edition i added a hurst pro matic 2....found it at a swap meet for $50 bucks and its been one of those things i was looking for and the price was right.....its an excellent ratchet shifter imo and i couldnt be any happier

Chulisohombre · 02-06-2014, 09:00 PM

That really sets off that console. Good stuff. Did you change out the column? Can't tell from the pics.
