Where do I put all this ##$%^ ^@**# #*&^%$ stuff

I have run out of places on my dash where I can reasonably drill a hole and install another switch, light, gauge, etc.

There isnt much space available to begin with so anything more than a couple of toggle switches is gonna make it look cluttered.

I already have 3 gauges ("A" pillar mounted), switchable clamp mod (a version of the 10K mod), a switch to control my flip chip, and a total kill switch.

My present plans include airbags with onboard compressor that = at least 2 switches plus a gauge and a propane injection system (Powershot 2000) = 2 more switches and another gauge,

I have been looking for some sort of overhead console that I can mount the new stuff in but havent found anything decent.

Any ideas?

I bought my truck with a custom made solid wood ceiling console already installed. It has black glass in it with limo-lights in 3 rows that can be turned on or off with an illuminated toggle switch also mounted in the console. Also, there is the receiver for my remote mounted radar detector and plenty of room to mount just about anything else you could imagine. In addition to the extra room for cool gadgets, it also gives the truck a nice "airplane cockpit" feel and look, like the older T-birds had with their overhead lights. In my truck, the work was done by a company in Houston, Texas called Texas Stagecoach Company. They also customized the entire interior including a matching center console on the floor with an LCD screen in the rear for the kids to watch! I think they are now out of business, but I would think there are many van conversion shops which should be able to make a simalar set-up.

Good luck!
