I have the same issue on my '57. With the buckets mounted, there is now a large space between the seats. I chose buckets because of the floor shift conversion (I needed space between the seats for the shifter). However, the four-wheel drive lever is now in the way of the passenger's feet placement. I"ll probably bend the four wheel drive lever to solve that problem. For the console my first option is to go to eBay or Criagslist and modify an existing one. If there are other options, I'd also be interested in exploring them.
