Good Evening Gents!
Looking to see what the size of the factory center console is? Is anyone willing to measure and share?

What measurements do you need ?

MrBlue · 04-21-2021, 09:24 PM

Outside Length, Width and Height, please.

I'm installing a pair of seats from a Tahoe and want to see if this fits or if I need to create a custom one.

Yeah. They're not cupholders. They used to ''say'' they were to hold the buckle end of the seatbelt, but everybody knew they were perfectly shaped to hold a couple of ''crushproof'' cigarette packs. The ashtray in the middle is a giveaway. Everybody [but me] smoked in 1967, so what was the big deal, right?

And everybody in the 60's/ 70's had those pesky seat belts shoved behind the seats anyway . They were always in the way when you wanted to pull over and grab a cold beer out of the cooler in back .

I got into the seatbelt habit since Driver Training in 1965. Even though they were not yet mandated, All the Drivers' Ed cars had them installed. ['63, '64, '65 Impalas leased to the School District, and later sold as ''executive driven''
creampuffs.]
My beer cooler was always in the passenger footwell. I was young and more lithe, and had no problem with the stretch.
