I installed some bucket seats out of a 2002 GMC regular cab, (back of the seat folds forward), and built my own console - not finished yet. You can see a photo at: picasaweb.google.com/Harry.Nunn/Console20080621#5214677371850298946

What tank did you use when you moved it? I like that set up with the console. What are you finishing the console with fiber glass or upolstered?

The gas tank was in the cab, but I removed it. I got the measurements between the frame rails in the rear where the spare tire goes, and mounted one there. A friend of mine welded up the aluminum tank. You can see some pics at: picasaweb.google.com/Harry.Nunn/65ChevyPU_GasTank#. The center console will be upholstered except for some of the top portion which will be painted to match the interior.

rilos61,
I talked to my friend about building a gas tank, and he said the he would, but the cost of material has gone up quite a bit in the past 18 months, and the price of a gas tank from CPP would probably be less expensive, (http://www.classicperform.com/Store/1960_1972_Chevy_Truck/6372AGTBS.htm)

I found a cheap ($75) front sear for a 9?-02 Dodge Ram 2500 that has a nice big foldable console. When down you've got buckets, but when up you have one middle seat. Only needs some minor bracket adaptation on the middle supports to fit!

I have acces to a set of seats out of a 96 dodge ram if you could show me some pics that would be great
