center console

[alaskanmountaineer]

need help with ideas about center console. i want to do it my self but my truck is a 5 speed and i'm trying to figure out a way to make a good center console that can still store but give me room to shift any ideas? thanks.

pics of the interior would help get an idea. once everybody sees what you have, somebody will post pucs of theirs.

If you have a standard cab the 91-94 dual cupholder Explorer console will not work with a manual trans... at least it wouldn't in my '85. My aftermarket automatic shifter just holds a bottle of pop in the cupholder (which is nice because otherwise they kinda suck at holding bottles from flipping out the front)

I have seen a single one that sat a lot lower in the front that would probably work of the same vintage.

I mounted a console from a 96+ (maybe 97+ I forget but its the full length one) explorer in my 94 with self tapping screws and its pretty solid

Judging off of the pic I found of your truck, I think your shifter sits further back than a factory M5OD shifter. Or am I wrong?
