Console Replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello - I have a 1972 GMC Jimmy with an original console. I would like to replace it with something new but only see a plastic version from LMC Truck. Any other suggestions out there?

The Truck Shop has them in plastic as well, but it is in the original style with the belt buckle holders. P/N 69-03417

Also found at Chevy Duty, P/N 36-731 and they are a bit cheaper.

Nobody makes exact reproductions of the original console (notice the repops don't have the chrome trim). Restore your current console or look for a restored one for sale. I've seen them both here on the board (you'll need to be a paid subscriber to buy off the parts section) and on ebay.

You could also look for a different type of console. I've seen some guys putting later model suburban consoles in their trucks. Tuffy also makes a nice console that has a locking compartment and you can get a locking area for your stereo, both are nice when the top is off.

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi! Just to clarify what bouncytruck posted, you need to be a subscriber to post a WTB thread on the parts board, but if someone else posts something for sale you want feel free to respond.
