Air bag controls

I finally took some pictures of the air bag controls for the firestone airbags. It makes adjusting while you drive a breeze.





Sorry the pictures aren't so great, they were taken with the N95 phone.

What do you think?

I think you need the lower console from an F-650, some spray paint, maybe a few liquid refreshments, a buddy and a free afternoon. Hey...maybe at the rally! I'll bring my Dremel.

Although...don't know where you'd put the power pedal switch, though.

Sorry, but I have to agree with Ken on this one.

There are space for at least 6 switches on one style and 3 on the other...

Any self-respecting "Modder" should be able to find a solution!!!

I was thinking about that but I need a place for the radios and by the looks of the f-650 dash panel I don't think there wouls be enough room underneath. I might have to look at it again though. That was just a 15 minute fix for my wife not to see all the air lines and guts of the guages.

Thanks Ken. The next time I have time I was going to sit down with our fiberglass guy and possible make a full console that we can drop our radios into, brake, controller, and air bag controller with possible a few small cubbies for sunglasses and such. I have to have a partial knee replacement as soon as work permits so I will probably have enogh time then.

Holy moly! You should get a motorized seat that comes out of the truck, lifts you up and puts you behind the steering wheel.
