Where can I buy a center console for my 1998 Ford Ranger 3 liter automatic. I took my original out after the lid broke. Wish I didn’t take it out.

Thanks a lot I appreciate it.I had a '98 with 405,000 on her miles before she finally died and I was the original owner. But on to the OP's question: Those lids ALWAYS break because as we get into our trucks to situate our bodies, we lean on the arm rest lid with all of our weight and thus, we crack the thin plastic structure of the lid. It then disintegrates with time after it cracks. You can sometimes (with a little luck) find the "box" in decent condition (or re-upholster it) but almost always, the lid will be damaged and worn out. I simply used the original hinge and made a new DIY lid covering it with foam and fabric that I found at a an upholstery remnant clearance shop. So look for the box at a junk yard, but unfortunately, be patient if you expect to find a lid in good condition. I know I couldn't find one without paying a fortune for one on the auction site so I made my own lid..... Good luck to you my fellow Ranger friend.
Here's my 60/40 bench to bucket mod. Installed an Explorer console from the local pick and pull lot. Had to get the arm rest on-line, just the arm not the frame.
Show off.
J/k looks awesome, where did you get the seat covers?
The previous owner of my green 2000 had built a custom center console to replace the broken one. I ended up pulling it out because it had two speakers mounted in the top and with the German Shepherd I had, I could see him putting a paw through a speaker. So I built my own, mounted he speakers in the side and made two custom cup holders plus a lidded storage space and place for switches.
So what's in the stock stereo slot in the dash?
