Found a pic of an overhead console idea that I'd like to try in my reg cab to mount my cb, some switches for future lights, maybe a scanner, and a better dome light. After reading what this guy used, 1/2 plywood, it doesn't seem too difficult. I'd have to built the console to contour to the headliner. My only concern is securing it too the roof/ headliner. I know the headliner won't support it but what would I use to secure it to the room? Would Self Tapping Screws work? I figured while I had the chance I'd put in some cab lights as well.
I'm able to follow direction for install, wiring is my main concern but I'm sure I can find the info to wire everything especially the switches and cab lights and cb and scanner. Do I need to be concerned about overloading anything so I don't drain the battery too quickly or burn up anything as far as wires? Anybody with electrical experience, I'd appreciate any tips.
I've attached 2 pics, one of the console and one of the headliner to show contour. Also, this would replace everything along the center including current console/lights.
