Mine came in last night. Very well packaged and in perfect shape. No brackets of any kind though- will I need to make something? How did you guys bolt it in?

For installing one of these in a truck that already has captains seats, do the existing arm rests have to be removed for the wider top to open freely and completely?

I'm going to do this mod, but need to know what to be prepared for.

FYI guys, FMCO says in the 08 sales book that it can hold a laptop. They must have been using the really, really small ones because it sure can't hold my 15.4" one. If you can get the one that is for crewcabs it will have 2 power points. One inside and one on the back. above the rear cup holders.

That's the one I have. Local Ford dealer wants $40 for brackets. WHo's that site sponsor- I'll check there too.

BTW- the color seems pretty good with my gray/blue interior.

I'm not 100% sure that mine is coming with brackets now . Who IS that site sponsor? I may be looking for a source of brackets too...

There are two sponsors... DirectFordParts and Y2KFordParts. I've not dealt with the first, but had good experience with Kenny (current contact) at Y2K.

So what about the arm rests on bucket seats... do they have to come off to make room for the wider console?

Armrest gotta come off but that leaves a metal stop that is welded to the frame of the seat that will get in the way and a gaping hole in the fabric.

Thanks, Ken. When I get froggy, I can find a solution to both of those issues, but the fact that I have to deal with them will create a delay between now and when I do the work.

Thanks

Very nice. Thanks! I sure hope mine is coming with the brackets... It's just $$ after $$ with this project...

Here's a blush- the part numbers in the image are NOT the right ones for ordering!
