Re: 1968 GMC - Ol' Blue

Console is mounted. I was hoping to get both seats mounted too, but the console work took longer than I expected and I had to redrill the holes for the seats. For anyone considering 99-06 buckets and a 14-18 console (or any console that is approx. 14" wide), it's a tight fit and you really should have all three parts in hand and mocked up at the same time. I had to redrill the seat holes about 1" toward the outside on both sides and plug the old holes. Not my ideal fix, but I didn't want to weld them shut and burn the epoxy on the underside.

But the console came out really nice - we chopped the old mounting points off the frame and welded L-brackets to bolt it to the floor. We cut the bottom out of the lower plastic tray and it holds the PCM and TAC module great and I mounted the OBD port to the tray as well. I pulled my iPhone cable up into the top half so I can plug it in from the console too.

I get tunnel-visioned when I'm working on my truck and forget to stop and take good pictures. I'll have a picture of the seats and console next weekend.
