Thats cool, i was going to put buckets in my truck, and build an center console out of wood and fiberglass, to hold my amp and subwoofer, but to make it look factory so you wont see anything, i have a little exprience with some fiberglass, but not much, i like to get my lesson taught to me by trial and error lol.

haha yeah i guess ill just make a custom one and see how it turns out.. it should be fun project.. i was thinking about maybe getting some newer seats out of like an 02 or something.. (leather ofcourse) and try fitting them in there something with the middle seat that folds down to a console..

You can also use 1/4 plywood. Cover it with foam backed vinyl, a little trim and your good to go. Remember- "Trim covers sin." Don't forget to plan on how to mount it.

Ebay has a few F150 consoles, but a little pricey.
