Overhead Console Question
I just bought a 1997 dodge ram 1500, I know the overhead console came customized with the truck, it's a wood console that goes from the windshield all the way to the back sliding window, it also has about 12 little lights going down it. Does anyone know the brand of this or where i can buy the exact same one. I dont think I can get it from the dodge house. I got a build sheet but it dont say anything about it.
It's clearly not anything Chrysler made. There are a number of the van conversion companies that did those truck conversions with wood trim and stuff like that. Mark III and few others that I can't recall. There was one company that did all the Ford's where I worked on at a dealership in Idaho, but I can't place the name. Anyway, here's a link to some of the companies that do interior conversion in pickups.

Here's a place that you can send information about what you have and they will email you back to tell you what, if anything, they have that might work. But these 2nd gens are so old now, I doubt seriously anyone has new parts in stock. Maybe a wrecking yard, but since interior conversions were so rare(and very, very expensive) the chance of finding a wrecking yard with the right conversion and still have a good piece is slim to none. BUT if you have a cabinet shop close, you could probably get one made just like it, using the electrical and mounting parts from that one.
