Center Console fab

I guess people didn't have drinks and a ton of other crap when these trucks were made. I found a decent looking console Amazon, but it was pretty pricey. So being cheap, I stole their idea started making my own.
My wife helped me make a templet and started cutting.

Cut some slots to feed the seat belt through to secure it to the seat. Or, hide something inside to run the belt through. Also put some thin foam under the vinyl to soften the feel.

Nice console. I'm rebuilding a work truck so mine isn't as nice, just heavy duty for work. Mounted in truck, don't have pics yet.

I think it looks great!

On the subject of cupholders, many years ago, US Mercedes-Benz dealers started getting requests for cupholders from buyers, & of course the dealers forwarded that request to Mercedes-Benz designers. The German automaker didn't understand beverages in automobiles. At that time in Germany, drivers pulled over to drink and eat. Drinking and dining were treated with greater reverence, I think, & driving distractions were frowned upon.

Mr. puddle, I applaud your efforts, your wife's participation and most importantly, that y'all turn your blinds the correct way.

Thanks for sharing!
