Looking for console to install ham/cb radio

I have searched online and on the forum and have had no luck. I have a 2004 f-150 with the center front seat (the one that the back folds down into an arm rest/console). I want to install my ham radio and possibly cb radio in the truck. I am looking for a console to mount it in front of the center front seat as nobody ever sits there. What I am looking for is something that is enclosed and similar to what you would find in a police car. Does anyone have something like this or know where I may find what im looking for?

Thanks,
John

I Pulled out my lower cushion and put a (custom) console on the frame as most "pre-built" consoles where too short to be of use for me. (I didn't want to reach down for the radio). I've got a console big enough for to house 5 "radio-sized" units and my switches. But to date... I'm not done with it.

For purchased (pre-built) units... Havis Shields, Sho-Me and Signal vehicle products come to mind (Some of the ones I use to sell). I couldn't come up with updated links so you may want to google some of that.

For the record... there is one for our F150s but it was too short and small for my purpose. Its a simple box with one side at a 30* or 45* angle ( I can't recall) for the display of the radio. I'll see if I can find it in my selections.

I almost forgot about the "Stack Masters" or aka: "Rack Masters"
I used one of these when I had my '99 Ranger, with (iirc) 5-components.
This caption should be vehicle specific to the '04-'08 F150s W/Out factory center console.

You could always build one. I built this one when I had my F350.
