Fabrication is the name of the wheeling game. Make some brackets to screw/pop rivet to the floor and screw the console to!!!

It should work in your std. cab, it might not be a direct fit, but you shouldn't have any problem making it look like original equipment. Like OOP'S said fabricating is the name of the game with any truck mod's.
More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

I padded the top of an ammo box and bolted it down.
the plasic on mine just crapped out.
I like the ammo box. you don't have to worry about it opening during a roll.

I'll be switching over to buckets in my standard cab truck shortly and would be interested in the console if he isn't. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i pmed him last night buster lol. im sick of resting my hand on the transmission tunnel. oh and missouri man, shouldn't you be worrying about a lot of other important things when rolling over rather than just your center console opening? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
