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

Pappyx3! · 08-05-2014, 01:05 PM

Anyone built a center console for our trucks. Did some research, but didn't see any thing for our gen. Took 80's bench seat out, replacing it with a couple of used sport seats. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Other than your aftermarket lock-box style ones, probably not.

You could also consider center consoles out of later model chevy trucks.

Slowbuild,

Thinking about that also, like the mid 2000's seat/consoles out of the Silverado/Tahoes.

It has provisions for a single bolt that comes through the floor like a studd, and we can use a pin or nut to hold it in place....truthfully tho, we usually don't.

The weight of it w/stereo, its snug-fit location between the seats and back wall, and its shape (it straddles the hump about 3/4") all hold it in place REALLY well, and it removes quickly for racing. We don't run with it in, as it comes out in about 4 seconds and saves us ~30lbs

On page 86 of my build thread shows the final installation of the 92-96 Ford truck console I slipped in between my bucket seats:
