The seat risers / storage box are from an older Dodge caravan, it was too tall so I had to section it.

The seats are from a Dodge Intrepid, I think.

Hey Joe, how are you going to reach the dimmer switch when you put the kick panels back on?

Old F1 has the idea, I mounted mine under the driver's seat, used a keyboard tray I bought for $2, cut it down and left a slack loop in the harness which forward under the console. The tray has a little storage box for fuses and I mounted an LED flashlight from Harbor Freight to it to provide some light, painted it white too. Fuses most always blow when it's dark.

just thought of this one, you might laugh at this one but how about using a slow moving sign spade and pocket off a tractor?, and if its not secure for your likings you can rivet one of these spring latch clips onto the spade, it would then latch onto the pocket when pushed in, i might just use this idea afterall!

So heres a thought...idear. i was thinking where to mount my fuse panel and started to think.. hey i dont smoke and probly wont allow it in my truck so why not use the ashtray maybe have it on sliders to where you can just pull it out. Might have to do some cutting to make it alittle bigger but anyone think its possible? I think it would be slick!,
