Title: Overhead console
Post by: 81_Chevy on September 18, 2012, 01:24:53 pm

i have an 81 k20 regular cab, im looking for an overhead console like a shelf it type deal but with a faceplate on it. my dad used to build these back in the day, but doesnt have the templates for them any more. im looking to put my CB in the middle and some off road light switches on the drivers side with a storage compartment, and a CD hold on the passenger side with a storage compartment. if anybody knows of something similar to this of has a pattern or if i could buy one, it would be greatly appreciated :)
