Breaker 1-9... just brought back some fond memories of yesterday! Haven't seen many overhead for our trucks... I'm interested in what you find...

Not a very good example, but are you are thinking something like this ?

I'm also going to build an overhead console - I think I'm going to go away from the modern trend of centerline and go across the header instead - I can install stereo, speakers, map lights, and cubby holes for storage...I think it will be straight forward once I get to that point.
OldGreyMare, yes similar to that but not so bulky.

Yeah, it wasn't too hard. Made this out of 3/8" plywood. To attach it I ran a cross piece 1" wide by 3/16 metal bolted to each door frame and also bolted to the overhead frame. To hang the console I used turn buckles attached to the metal cross piece and the overhead frame. Allows me to draw the console up and adjust it left to right ect.

These are both "show" trucks that belong(ed) to members of Pickups Limited SoCal. The top one is a 55 and was a cover truck on Custom and Classic Trucks magazine. The console was built here locally by a guy who does beautiful aluminum work...if that console were mine I would have never covered it in fabric. The other truck is a 56 and has won best of class multiple times at the GNRS and other shows. I did not build the console and I am not sure who did...that said, it is very nice. I especially like the wood (which matches the wood in the bed floor) and the aircraft-style interior lights.
