Airbag/Shock Controls on floor console

[cannongeorge]

It's time for new shocks, I'm pondering switching over to air adjustable ones. Rancho has discontinued the manual gauges and pushbuttons (in favor of a wireless remote) but I may have found some older hardware still in stock. I'd like to design an in-cab panel to accommodate separate front/rear shock gauges/controls, as well as an airbag controller for my existing Firestones. I plan to power everything from a new on-board air compressor and tank.



A while back somebody posted a great picture of a DIY project, where they built a combination airbag and front/rear shock control panel, w/gauges, all into a pice of fabricated steel (or plastic?) located on the center "hump" directly beneath the fold out cup tray. With the tray extended, the view to gauges is blocked, but that's a small sacrifice.



I can't find this post, does anyone recall it and can upload a picture of this gauge/control cluster? I thought it was a great fit, at least for trucks with Automatic Transmissions (wouldn't work with stick).



Thanks all.

Hey!

Check these out, and see if it's what you were after...

... and if you can't find the gauge/pushbutton type of controller for the Rancho 9000's, and you really need it, I've got one brand new in the box that I may be able to be talked out of!

Enafziger - Thanks for your quick reply. Nope, not what I was looking for; but I'm intrigued by the side panel layout (Pic #1). The pic I was looking for had at least 3 or 4 gauges, left to right, mounted on a say 8" w x 3" h vertical panel fabbed with bottom "ears" to permit drilling directly into the floor directly below and in front of the center console. I will go ahead and create cardboard template and then bend some sheet metal, after I collect all parts.
