Last Sunday I started getting the itch to build a simple center console, so I went to Home Depot, got a few things, and went through with it. It took me about a week to do with college and work, but it could easily be done in a weekend. The basic idea was to build something that would replace the center seat, be more comfortable, and provide more storage (basically a toolbox for inside the truck).

Wow thats probably one of the best looking home built consoles I have seen. Great job. How did you secure it to the truck?

 

Thank you very much, it bolts right down on to the brackets where the middle seat is secured.

 

Awesome job man!!! That thing is wicked!!!

 

Yes indeed. VERY nice. If I didn't need seating for six...... I would do up something like that as well.

 

Thanks buddy!!

 

Where did you get the material for the middle seat from? I mean like did you use vinyl or what?

 

It is black synthetic leather (vinyl) but it really feels like leather. I got it for 3 dollars a yard at Walmart, and I got 2 yards of it.

 

And thanks HeyYou, completley understand the 6 passenger ordeal. Although I have a regular cab and I rarely even have a passenger let alone 3 people packed in there! haha.
