Consoles for Suburbans

Has anyone used, or made a console for their Suburban/Panel that still has the original seat? I want one for mine that goes from the seat all the way to the firewall(floor mount of course) up to the bottom of the dash. Any pictures of yours?
Thanks

OK no answer for Suburban consoles. What about pickup consoles with original and aftermarket seats? I need some ideas.

You-tube has a couple vids on Custom built console's, make a basic pattern out of cardboard and start banging it together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSjfKLH9P20

Great Video did the same thing for my old 65 Chevy II 4 door and had it sitting on the floor when I sold it. I have access to lots of cardboard as I work retail, so I can work on this and my transmission at the same time.
Thanks for telling me about the video

Here is another interesting 1!...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_K3d4-yI14 depending on material you are going to use, I found Home depot has Aztek 4 x 8 x 1/2 " PVC sheets cuts a little easier than wood.. about 2x the price of a good sheet of plywood. I used it for side panels in my Blazer. comes in white ( I Painted these)

Thanks. notsolo. Going to get some cardboard and at least get a mockup first. Since I can't drive it because of lousy mileage, I might as well work on the interior until I can get my trans fixed.
