Refurbished console - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Andy4639 · 02-15-2015, 02:56 PM

As title states I bought a 72 truck console off a fellow member here and our local club. It wasn't in the best of shape but it was complete. I asked around on here about getting it refurbished with not much luck are they either wanted $400.00-$500.00 to do what I wanted. Couldn't see that much money in it.
I sat on it for a while trying to decide what to do. I looked at new ones also but finally found another local member of our truck club who said he would try it. I can't get over how well it turned out, he did amazing job on it and it cost me only $120.00 on top of that!
No it's not 72 spec's but it's fiber glassed with all the cracks fixed and painted. I cleaned up all the trim, brackets and placed new S/S hardware and screws in it. It houses two amps now and I think it looks killer in the truck! I really think it turned out great. Here are a few pictures of it before and after.
