Centre Console for a Sierra

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any stores in Queensland that may possibly sell pre-made centre consoles to fit in Sierras?
Very similar too this -

The last item down the bottom.
Many thanks in advance!

not that I am aware of.
A 0.5cal ammo box works pretty good.

not of the mdf one. i will grab some pics of it.
Cooler is this one
i have wedged this in between the seats and it does not move esp as i have the cargo barrier in mine behind the front seats.

wow, i am impressed, i did not think there is enough room between my seats, I am 6'5" and have a hard enough time not rubbing shoulders with a pasenger in the car. i am thinking about making an overhead shelf as mine is a hi roof.
pictures please, as i am impressed for ideas....

cant pass the ammo box, cheap, reliable, and holds more than what you expect

The .50 cal box is the same width as the tunnel. Very roomy.

cooler is also a 5.5l model... there is no way the 9l would fit
its ussually goes for $29.95 but ovvasionally goes on special for $19.95 just walk into store and say you bought it for $19.95 and it died and you want a new one
could they do the other price

Are Pics are being removed, and if so, Why!?!? or is it you have that 3rd eye thing happening when you can see what others mean rather than into the future?

I bought one of the DSE coolers yesterday but it doesn't quite fit behind the handbrake, it sits on an angle because of the raised section behind the seats. I'll just make up a chock to sit under the front and it should be sweet

coilys came out with one standard you might be able to fit it in a leaf sprung pretty easily
only 110 from suzuki
enough room for wallet 2 drinks and covers your hand brake
