    working on building up a console for my truck, it will sit between the bench and the dash,

    heres a computer sketch of my idea, the top black square is the cb, the other will be my power inverter, the lid will have a piano hinge and a cabinet lock, also a cubby hole for my phone and what not, and cup holders will be mounted on each side along with my mag lite mounts, it will be wrapped in gray vinyl and will have diamond plate trim, maybe i will add a plexiglass ford oval on the side and light it up blue,

    should be going to get supplies in the morning to get a start on it
