Or... you could just buy an overhead console that's made for this purpose:

Sorry for the poor picture.

hey here is an idea...use the front overhead header duct from a 86-91 pass
van with a/c..   the header duct panel would be awesome for installing a
radio
in the middle duct opening, and using the side vents for map/clutter
pockets.
in karl's van he removed the middle ducts when installing the poptop, and
use
the front header duct ro strore junk in.. worked great.. just popped the
vents out and trimmed the plastic between them.. viola..instant map
pockets..and
use the big open duct hole in the middle for a CB or radio..
