    If you're just looking for something to put between the seats to hold your stuff, I'd check Amazon. Easy enough to build something outa wood, but time and money says you'd get a better deal with some plastic stuff. I have a sleeper and a stick, if i put something else in the way I'll need a back door to get back there.

    If you're looking for something stock/factory check out Holst. They have one of the best commercial truck yards in the country.

    Walmart sells a cheap plastic center console. Cup holders with a locking arm rest/glove box. Maybe costs $40-$60?? It’s really not bad. I often thought about getting one. Would need to put a base on it, maybe made from plastic 2 liter shipping crates. Cut, stacked, zip tied, bring it up to desired height, covered in some vinyl to match. Maybe a little weight at the bottom to keep it sturdy. Another idea I had was a cheap black vinyl covered box foot rest. They’re less than $20. Top comes off, add a plastic cup holder into the lid. Big enough to fit a small cooler, or a 12v lunch stove, paperwork ???

    12 volt cooler between the seats and use ALIEN tape to fasten compartments to it. ALIEN tape holds like it shows on tv but it does not release so easily,,gotta pick it off in pieces..
