Carring wood in a GMC Van

[keith_nuttle]

I have a 1994 GMC van. I use it to haul wood for various projects. (connection to woodworking).

The last time that I purchased several 8' 1X4 I placed them in the van on the folded down rear seats. When I stopped it came foreward and busted the center console where the gove compartment and ligher are.

Can any one suggest a source for finding a replacement for that large piece of plastic?

Or no GMC dealers either? Junk yards would be the first choice though. Jim

Ummmm...make one out of wood?

Chevy/GMC dealer. Junkyard. eBay.

Sheesh.

Yeah, junkyards are about 5% cheaper.

Duct tape? Duct tape AND wood? Decisions, decisions, decisions.

JOAT I am not paranoid. I do not "think" people are after me. I "know" damn well they're after me.

When I carry stuff like that I generally slide it all the way forward when I load it. That way it cannot ram the dash or windshield if I hit the brakes--unless I burn rubber first.

Around here they're loads cheaper than a measly 5%.

I once broke the windshield of my old 1982 Suburban with a 17 foot canoe....from the INSIDE. I carry plenty of rope, bungies and heavy wire in the truck all the time now, and canoes always ride on the outside on the pole rack.
