Buckets and Custom Console Done! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PrimeredThunder · 01-31-2004, 02:17 AM

Heres some pics I just snapped of my fresh interior. I built a custom center console that has two cup holders and holds my switches. Traded fellow board member Brad for the seats. I think it looks pretty good. Not bad for an afternoon of work? Sorry about the fuzzy pics.

Nice!

gonebad2 · 01-31-2004, 03:39 AM

That looks sweet. Did it block your lower heater outlet or did you just re-route it? I'm thinking of doing one in sheetmetal and painting it body color. I just bought a small sheetmetal brake and spotwelder today so I can start practicing. I think it will take me quite a while and alot of practice to get it down but it should be fun. Your truck looks great.....You can't go wrong with RED.

Brad · 01-31-2004, 04:47 AM

Dude, that's flippin' cool! I want to come down and see that console in person! I've been trying to come up with a better idea than what I've got..

PrimeredThunder · 01-31-2004, 05:14 AM

I'm here everynite, weekends I do two shows...jk

The carpeting on the console is alright, but I think i'm gonna have to do some more fine touches on the edges. Nonetheless I like it and its what I wanted. Thanks for teh seats dude

LOOKS GREAT .. YOUR PROJECT IS COMING ALONG GREAT.

outlawchevy · 02-03-2004, 11:40 AM

very nice

MMGOODIE · 02-03-2004, 12:32 PM

both the truck and the center console look great. i want to do something cool like the center console but haven't worked out the routing of the heater ducts plus I have a stupid little problem called a transfer case shifter.

BTW it looks like you truck has a nice home.

rigo · 02-03-2004, 12:39 PM

looks great....I love the way that red and black look together...hard to beat them colors..

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-03-2004, 01:33 PM

Looks great!! That is one sweet truck!! WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

PrimeredThunder · 02-03-2004, 03:39 PM

Thanks for al the positive feedback/comments. I rarely drive my truck in the cold months, so the heater issue isn't really a problem..besides, mine never worked too good in the first place lol.
These consoles are really pretty easy to put together. I used materials I found around the shop and put it all together. The Carpet cost me something like $8 at Wal-Mart and the Spray Adhesive was like $5 a can.

Can't wait till the warm months start coming and I can actually have some power under my foot

Hooter · 02-03-2004, 08:41 PM

I had factory buckets and console but i took them out and put a bench seat in, so the girl can sit right next to me

SWEET7T · 02-03-2004, 09:46 PM

I would love to have some buckets and a console in my truck, but they just can't beat having your honey slid right up next to ya.

dinnut · 02-03-2004, 10:29 PM

love the interior and the exterior!

71-longbed · 02-03-2004, 11:40 PM

Nice Lookin' Kenny !!!.... whats next ??

PrimeredThunder · 02-04-2004, 02:09 PM

The seats are out of a Honda Civic or Accord, not sure, I can't remember...

Whats next? Hmm..well I am rdering a new rear bumper, brackets etc. Then i want to Notch my frame, fab a new tracking arm/mounts and maybe a few other small things...any ideas? Nthing too crazy, I'm still running on a High-School Budget lol.

jamis · 02-04-2004, 03:07 PM

Thats sweet looking

What color is the out side, It looks like a cool shade of red/orange, I never seen before or is that just the picture and lighting that gives it a diffrent look.

PrimeredThunder · 02-04-2004, 03:17 PM

The lighting is crappy (In the shop). It's supposed to be Torch Red. Looks really good when its washed up, however, the paint was done rather poorly in my opinion, someday I'll get it redone.
