Question Overhead Console

Hi, I am thinking of putting an overhead console into my '80 F150 and am wondering what would fit in my application? Right now I have no headliner, just the steel roof. I heard somewhere that ones out of Dodge cars??? will fit? If so, what years and models? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If you try JC Whitney you might find the right overhead console for your truck. I don't think that they cost very much and you can get them to match the interior of your truck.

One other thing about the console from JC Whitney that I forgot to mention is the fact that it is an ABS plastic piece that acts as a headliner and over head console in one, and if memory serves, they were only about $150.

Roger that! It has 4 4" speakers in it. My uncle put one in his 96 F-250HD and he loves it. He dyed it to match the interior and it looks factory.

Well, don't quote me on that as my memory on that is a little fuzzier than my vision on New Years Day! But I do know that it wasn't too bad.

I've seen them before in JC Whitney but can't find them to save my life now.. All I come up with in headliners are replacement material..Have they stopped carring them?

Thanks Guys! I looked at JC Whitney on the net but could not find it either. I'll have to check LMC.
