I will be keeping an eye out for suburbans next time I go to the junkyard. I've seen a few that were meant for K5 Blazers that were for off roading. Spots for CBs and speakers. They pop up from time to time on CL and OfferUp. They wouldn't fit the Ford though.
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers This town ain't big enough for the both of us And it ain't me who's gonna leave

The best overhead console I picked out of some conversion van in a junkyard in like 2009, it went into two other vans after. It's just a piece of high quality maybe 1x4 or 1x5 that had two long doors on each side and a switch panel in the middle. The bottom was some thin material, hardboard, plywood, with a headliner material on the bottom. it was cut to fit the roof shape, long screws in the ends of the wood piece, and then the bottom was cut to the windshield shape and a few shorter screws around the perimeter held it in. Visors folded flat against it. I put the radio in the switch panel hole after opening it up a little. It would be easy and cheap to make with hardware store materials.
I then was in a junkyard in North Carolina in 2013 and saw my radio idea wasn't original. A 78-83 van there had a plastic headliner insert console that had provision for a regular two knob radio centered but mounted at about a 45' angle facing the driver. I should have pulled it.

If anyone finds one ; I hope it will posted as usual. We had a pretty nice 82' back in the day; one of our many Chevys | | | Re: overhead console ideas | Joined: Apr 2021 Posts: 219 Likes: 25 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Apr 2021 Posts: 219 Likes: 25 | I had one I drove with the console in it, and later on I pulled one to flip in the junkyard, then never could sell it. Looks like I should have just put it on eBay - this guy wants $150 for one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193809428685
