well I finally solved the console/cupholder dilema. I have an 84 pickup that I drive everyday. It has bucket seats and I was always disappointed with the console and hated not having a cup holder. So here's the solution I used. I got an oak colored gear shift surround (I'm changing the int. color and components to "oak") with the built in cup holder out of a 96 benchseat taco. It bolts right up to the standard mounts. then I got a three piece console out of an 89 4runner (it was grey but I sprayed it to match the "oak" color exactly). The cool thing about these is that they are alot like the consoles found in the 2001+ tacos with the two storage areas and they actually are high enough to be comfortable to rest one's elbow on. the arm rest was pretty haggard so I mated a leather "oak" arm rest from a totaled 97 4runner limited. It all bolted right up to the standard mounting holes. I took my time and it looks like it came from toyota like that. The other cool thing is that the console has a component(If i decide to use it) with three switch openings two for e-lockers one for lights (future projects were I to keep the truck.....which I'm not <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />) I just want the next owner to be able to enjoy this truck and be proud to own it. I'm also painting it with a two stage anthracite (toyota color 1998) scheme, but that's a subject for a different post...
