Center Console box write up
Here are some pictures of my old box, but they will allow me to show you what and how I built it for any of the DIYs out there.
When you take out the 20 middle seat you will see that 4 bolts held it in place, the 2 rear bolts are longer. Use the 2 longer bolts in the forward bolt holes because the MDF is much thicker and the stock forward bolts are simply too short. These are what the holes look like, the rear 2 holes are covered by the pleather.
Here are the holes from the inside of the box
Now, what I used to shape the box to the curvature of the floor is that I used cardboard and made a mock up panal. This is what your curve should look like.
Granted this box is just a proto type, this is what the box look like from the side. DO NOT USE THE CENTER FLIP UP CONSOLE BECAUSE IT WILL RADDLE AND SHAKE LIKE A MF!
The rest is pretty standard, if you built a box before you can eaily build this. Im only 18 and I did this with ease. If you have any questions or need more detail please feel free to ask.

Read my mind, but then I'd have to get bucket seats. Only reason I'd do this to my truck is because I like to use the room behind my seats for other stuff.
