That is pretty awesome. I may have to consider copying that mod. I know storage is an issue in the old trucks. Storage is an issue in my newer truck. Maybe I just cart around too much stuff.
In my mind I think I would only do the passenger side. I'd have to cut out the metal panel to use for a drawer front. Looks so clean that way. Seems to me fitting the drawer slides in the right position so that the drawer doesn't protrude out, or sink in beyond the rest of the pedestal. I guess there is some adjustment ability in the slides.
