Hey Doug

I was looking at avalanches for possible purchase. Please update as to how you like it, and how you end up mounting radios.

yeah, buddy of mine got an 04....i poked around it and realized that it's a miserably cranky :o to hide any cool looking stuff. only real choices are under the back seats, but the seat framework is kind of snug...my favorite place (under the front seats and inside the consoles) are full of crap and framework) . I'm not a fan of the truck anyways. that and all that plastic moulding around the exterior makes it look like a tonka on coke.

I'd just remove the factory console and do it the way you want.

The avalanche is a nice idea but in my opinion a rather goofy truck with limited used inside or out.

They do look better without the plastic body panels though.

You're better off buying a burb or quad cab HD2500
