Center Counsels
I am looking for a center counsel for my 66 F100.
Right now I am in the middle of a big push to get it road ready by the end of summer, and I would like bucket seats with a center counsel.
Bronco's have decent center counsels if you can find one, but what other vehicles have you guys used for center counsels?
In pick a part I see plenty of square body suburban ones, and I am partial to its basic square design. Its lack of cup holders is it's only detractor to me. I dislike the later Chevy one because they are roundish, and unpleasant looking to me.
Did Ford put one in their F150 ext cabs like GM did? I have been twice, and have not seen one.

Universal "fitz-all" consoles available from autoanything.com, store located in San Diego.
One type of console used in today's F150 Regular/Stupor & Crew Cabs is made as part of the middle seat (20) of 40/20/40 front seats, folds up to become backrest.
Other type is one piece 'flow thru' that has the shift lever mounted in front of it. Whiz over to Chino Ford and take a look-see.

I seen the Bronco ones online, but haven't seen one in person yet. Plus at pick a part they are rare.
The universal ones I am going to skip because they do not have enough retro feel to them for me.
If I can not find a decent example in pick a part I would probably build my own, and wrap it in vinyl.

Just got my console installed, it came with the truck from the previous owner so I don't know what it is, the red is a bit darker than my seats and carpet but matches the door panels fairly close so it doesn't look too out of place, I had the same problem at the junk yard, couldn't find anything that looked like it would work in color or form. I had to add some wood trim to the sides to cover the curved cut out but I think it all looks okay, gives me a couple of cup holders and a space to store misc "crap"

1964/65 Falcon console is not the same as 1965/66 Ranger, 1963 Falcon Sprint is. But the 1963 Falcon console base is different than Rangers.
Upper Left-Lower: 1965/66 Ranger / Upper Right-Upper: 1965 Falcon, same as 1964.

I used seats from a 2002 Chrysler LHS and a console from a 2000 F-150 it was tight but fits pretty good, and I do love the cup holders. I had my upholstery guy wrap it to match my other interior colors.

The console used in 1965/66 Ford F100/250 Rangers is the same as 1964/65 Falcon Sprint.
Some parts of this console have been reproduced by dearbornclassics.com.
1965/66 Mercury specific truck parts are listed in the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog.
There is nothing listed specifically for Mercury console parts, so the console may have been installed by a previous owner.

I am think of using these, but in plain aluminum. Then I have some aluminum flat sheet to make a top piece out of, and wrap the whole thing in black vinyl. Also I would stretch mine to fit in the whole space between the seats for more storage. I figure 3 in front, and 3 inside would be the ticket. The inside ones would be nice for coins or other small stuff.
