I wasn't wild about the front rail of my bracket. It was too visible and felt like it crowded the cab, too close to the trans hump and really didn't serve a purpose there in the middle. I mocked in the console after the driver's seat was mocked and with the console in place, I could tell that I would be safe with an indent.
So I C clamped a long 2x4 along the front of my bracket so it would stay in shape and welded in an indent. I cleaned up my booger welds while the thing was out too.
