i have switches on the side for lights behind the grill, fog lights, bulkhead lights and the fridge in the console. on the oassenger side i have an 800W inverter. in the rear of the console are 2 holes for 12v power adapters that i have not yet installed. in front of the fridge is a compartment to hold various things.
i have one 10 guage wire that comes in from the battery and is attached to a 10 place fused custom power bar that everything is connected to so i dont have a rats nest of wires going through the firewall and connecting to the battery. the cover in front of the fridge is bowed due to getting wet prior to installation, just havent replaced it yet.

matches the woodgrain in the rest of our truck .. i am thinking of doing the same type of setup with wood and the fiberglassing over it and molding into the dash somehow and painting white. the keyword i used is THINKING haha. i want to do soo much and just dont know where to start.

Thats pretty cool, and Nick, if you got something to that stage, the glass work would be easy...just time consuming and a pain in the ***. Alot of sanding.

Thanks for the pics. Did your truck come with the center console, or the 40/20/40 bench seat? Aren't the passenger side and the center seat connected, or are they two separate ones? I'd have to look at mine again. Well, come to think of the seat belt, I think they are separate. My step-dad is great with making things out of wood, so I'm kinda busy this weekend, but I might pull it into the driveway, and take a look at my seat, and see what I can do. Then I'll get some measurements, so that I can try to get something built. Thanks for the pics, that looks great. Mine will look something like that. I like the light switches right there, close, but you don't have to drill the dash.

this is the 2nd one ive put in the first one was painted the same color as the rest of the interior. the wife suggested i did this one woodgrain to cut up the monotonous grey everywhere. the jury is still out. now that i think about it, i actually still have it in the garage.

i painted all my woodgrain peices white to mathc the exterior paint. looks like a simple project though. i think the tough part would be molding it itno the rest of the dash

Not really Nick, that would actually be fairly easy especially if you want to use fiberglass...cardboard and duct tape become your best friends when it comes to fabbing something in glass.
