Buddy Seat AND Console

[jgbailey57]

I have a 69 charger with auto/console.  I also have 4 kids.  would it be possible to cut my console behind the shifter plate and add a buddy seat?  my console is already missing part of the rear part so cutting a good console isn't a concern.  what do you guys think?

Sure, why the heck not.  It could be done.  Talk to Kenny(kab69440) he's the king of modification.

Sure it can be done. Just depends how creative you are.

Yes, it could be done. The mounting brackets would need to be moved a few inches rearward, and keep in mind, the console top will be 3" or so higher than the top of the "seat" portion of your buddy seat. My advice for such a mod would be to cut the shifter plate immediately behind the shift indicator and slope, where the plate becomes flat and horizontal, and move the console butt up to attach there. You might be better off to install the buddy seat and get an aftermarket ratchet shifter with it's own standalone console. It will save you a ton of work.

Thanks for the info.  I guess the next step is to buy a buddy seat and go from there.
