Default Hey guys.. Need some feed back

WE are going to be making a custom switch panel for you truck guys.

Where would you guys like to see the panel go. I am seeing abunch of different selections on things from GM. So Im kinds confuesed on what is going to be the best place. Any feed back would be great.
Thanks
Dave

I'd think about the ash tray would be about the best spot. Some of the trucks have features here but, I know a lot didn't come with the options.

I'm glad to see this... I would be very happy if something could be done with the pocket above the the headlight switches, just right of the left vent. If you have 4-wheel drive, there is no pocket but rather a transfer case switch panel. But I think every 2-wheel drive owner would agree that the pocket GM put there in its place very impractical.

That would probably be the best place for the majority of the NBS drivers. I know someone that made a custom switch panel for his nitrous switches (master arm, purge, bottle warmer, and I think remote bottle opener). That's where he put his switches and it looked really good.

I'd like a nice clean fit panel to go in the slot above the cup holder tray.
One that can accomodate an arm switch, heater, remote bottle opener, and a purge(not neccessarily in that order).

I guess my truck is out-of-date already. Unless you're talking about that spot underneath the slave tape/cd deck. How different are the interiors between the 99-02 & 03+ ? Dave, how comprehensive are these panels going to be? Are you only planning on making one mold?

I'll snap a pic for you, it's different... I've had both.

I've been considering this alot. There's a compartment in the dash lower right of the stereo that can cleanly/easily adapted. GM already makes covers which can close it off and they make push buttons with LED (ie the one for the adjustable suspension ride) so that you can see when it's armed. If you don't offer it up I, for one, will be doing mine that way. It'll look stock/original especially if you can change the "Garanimal" on the button to indicate it's function.

The other clean option is to replace the 'remote control garage door openers'. I've owned 6 Chevys with that feature and never used those three buttons. My G.D. came with a small remote already...

ps. Props to you guys for actually asking the owners before doing it. Please keep it as clean/neat/stock appearing as possible

I kind of like the Ash Tray idea, Reason Be: People like to see what those switches do when there in that left empty slot, which is why I removed all of mine from that location. Now if you could make them hidden somehow in the left empty spot, that would be very nice.

It isn't empty in a 4x4.
