We thought about it but couldn't find one we really liked my brother is extremely picky when it comes to this truck. Could you post a pic or a link to the one you are using?

Re: 1979 chevy custom console build

If you need to lock down in 4 wheel your plan is to move the console. cool. Your plan on installing the fuel switch to the top of the lid. cool. Problem comes when you pull the console up and trail wire for the fuel. hmmmmm.

The fuel switch won't be on the console lid it will be right below the dash at the highest point on the console. And I will install some kind of quick release connector to unhook all the electrical stuff in the console so you can pull the whole thing out very easily. Thanks for the comment.

I'm back in town now and going to start work on the console this Saturday. Post some pics of your console to give me some ideas.

I'm sorry no there isn't any updates because we didn't go through with it we decided to keep the third seat in it.
