Additional Console?
So my truck keeps getting more and more added to the comm equipment and I am out of room. I have seen the posts of using the lower dash/console out of an F650 and have wondered, can I fit 3 radios in that? No? OK...then I am looking for suggestions...I don't mind paying a couple of hundred if it is a clean fit. I just don't want something that looks like it came from a hack shop. It still is my rig and I drive it alot. So what I would like to find, if the F650 console won't work, is a floor mount, (I have ESOF so no floor shifter for the 4x4), that is black and will hold 3 radios, and a bank of switches. This way I can free up the lower dash and not keep trying to figure out where I can fit another unit. All 3 units are single DIN size so there isn't anything odd size. And these 3 units don't include my stereo or my CB, (In-dash install).
Suggestions? Pics?

Have you looked at the police stores? My father's SO truck has a console that replaced the middle seat, it has an arm rest, 800MHz, VHF and light bar control panel with room for another bank or two. It's pretty modular in nature, so you could fit it between the dash and seat.

Something very similar to this is what I had in mind,

Probably not an exact it because the expidition is more like the F150 than the superduty.

THANKS!!! I like that set up.... BUt as always....to get what you want you have to give up something...looks like the cup holders go away. If I cant find anything lower in price I may have to go with that one. More than I really wanted to spend but if I dont have a choice, then so be it.

I don't see why you couldn't get a set of (F250 crew cab) rear seat cup holders or other cup holders and bolt them to that panel. The superduty rears have a keyed slot, you could use a carriage bolt through the panel to make up this key pretty easily.

I install and populate these for a living.....
I recently did a Highway patrol truck (F-350) that turned out really nice-
For about 30bux you can get the cupholder insert. There are almost infinite type of inserts/plates that you can put in these console boxes.
