Horvath, there is a thin lip before the windshield and the rear area by the dome light in the 47-54-55 first series truck seems suitable to build a support base -weld asteel plate thick enough to support the overhead console maybe weld the nuts to it also or how ever you decide to hang the console. I enjoy your site alot of good pitures and explanations. I HAVE A 54 CHEVY ALSO and thaught about a console -good luck
