Damn you guys and your newer trucks. I wish they made those to fit my '89!
I have a hard time finding anything for my 97 firerescue9. I can't imagine how hard it is for you.


I have a Sony Xplod head unit with usb and aux inputs, with 6 1/2" Pioneer in the the doors, and 6X9" Pioneer's behind the seat. Nothing big, but it pumps plenty of sound in my standard cab.

homemade center console and Ford JBL speakers

Here is the Ford Factory JBL speakers installed in the back of the cab...an improvement over the original speakers that were in my Flareside...





here is my center console that I built from MDF board and I padded the top part and the sides with memory foam for those long trips and for the comfort...I have to say it turned out nice and for my first time doing upholstery to cover the console not to bad of a job...also decided i needed some cup holders so I opted for some chrome red LED light cup holders that brighten and dim with my dimmer **** on the light switch...the console holds two 12" subs and my future plan is to put a 10" screen in it that will control the head unit through bluetooth...



here is the console cup holders lit up at night...

They sound fine. The kick panels themselves don't fit 100% perfect, but for the most part they fit fine. The grey is almost a perfect match. In low light, you can't tell a difference. You have to really look hard to tell a difference in color. I've not had a single problem with kicking in my speakers. I recommend you get a full cover grill for the speakers, though. The plastic they're made out of is really strong. Overall, I really like them and I'm glad I bought them.

thank you...my next plan is for adding the red LED lights under the rear bench seat and to add super white or red LED to the door light on the door...

whats nice is that the foot wells light up red whether the drivers door or passenger door are opened...

Now that is cool, mine are just wired to a toggle on my switch panel, along with the fog lights.

I'm already thinking of doing a new console based on the ford atlas center console...i think it would look very sharp, this time around i want to add cup holders and air vents for the back bench...

possibly switching from round to square subs...still undecided though..

Cool thank you, the other area I'm looking at as well is the dome light which will be either red or white LED's...will install both and see which looks best for the interior...

here is just a quick procession of the center console...i used cardboard to get the mock up done and then put the cardboard patterns to MDF and then assembled the MDF and covered with memory foam...


















Let me know what you guys think...
I'm also open to possibly taking orders on a center console...possibly...lol

Yes it is, I made a custom fit bracket to bring the final sitting outward to clear the dash

I'm already to switch out the touch screen receiver for a regular recessed receiver...when im out on the rough roads the playback of music videos gets choppy and not so admirable...lol

Thank you on the interior compliment...I am looking to do a raised flamed job on the headliner using dark grey back ground and raised black flames with red stitching

On the center console, I got me a touch screen tablet that will mount in that blank area on my console to operate videos, wifi, back up camera, auxillary screens for head rests and possibly digital gauges
