you mean the fine Italian woodgrain cup holder console[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

I plan to have a leather shifter boot made to match the seats that will cover it and what's left of the drink hole

I still have to run the cable for the shifter but, I will be removing the column shifter. I already have a manual trans column cover to replace it so there's no holes. I'll also have a bank of toggles switches for several goodies including the trans. Not really sure where they're going yet.

That looks great man! I saw the first pic and was wondering what the hell I was looking at, but that's outstanding!

If they're small switches you could put them all in a line on the left side of the shifter. All you would need is a piece of sheet metal to make a housing and mount it right there. That way it is right near the shifter for easy access while fyling..I mean on the fly.

I still need to pull it apart to see if I can use the area but, I'd like to put them in the small strip area right undr the seat heater controls. Ya, they'll be small... I don't want to bugger up the interior with a bunch of ugly switches. I also plan to install a 1/2" shift light in the dash somewhere. Isspro is working on a tach control box for me as no one makes one for our trucks yet.
