Let's See Custom Center Consoles

[EMS WJ 2000]

I am looking to build a custom console for my 2006 Mega cab and would like to see what others have done for their trucks to get some ideas.

I'd suggest looking in the radio subforum, lots of mods in there.


And my own, to house a CB and 2m HAM

There's a bunch of construction notes and detailed pics later in that topic

I want to see some custom / DIY / homemade consoles too.

I looked in the HAM radio forum and didnt really see anything that I was looking for. Unless there is another radio forum that I did not see.

No one else has built there own center consoles?

I dont need to. Mine is a walk in closet.

I'm in the EARLY stages of planning and have been looking for console ideas for over a year.

I can find off-the-wall custom audio work (and full custom fiberglass interiors) or simple screw plywood together type. Or there's the metal security boxes.

Not a lot in between.

Try checking into consoles for police vehicles. There are consoles for most domestic full size trucks and SUVs due to police, fire and ems use.

subscribed…to the OP what are you trying to achieve with the console? what do you have now?

I have the basic 2006 Dodge Ram SLT center console, Looking for storage, switches etc.

Dodge offered a full center console, obviously it would look the cleanest but it certainly isn't the cheapest. https://www.ebay.com/i/253405885249?chn=ps&dispItem=1

Not looking for stock, looking for something I can put custom switches and such on.

I took a used Gamber Johnson police console and swapped out my factory center console with it. I took a piece of plastic trim to Home Depot and had them match the color with a small can of latex paint to match the interior. There is a long list of available faceplates from several console companies that can fit just about any radio you wish, or you can even use a "blank" to cut out holes as you need. I used some sheet metal to fab up the small filler plate that bridges the gap between the cupholder and the console itself.

That's sharp looking!

I might just do that myself
