If all depends on what you want to put in there. Mine houses switches, more interior lights, backup camera monitor, CB external speaker, GPS, medkit, and a place to mount my handheld radio. It works great for everything. Decide what you want to put in there and where you want to put it, then cut up some cardboard and draw a rough template. I can give you rough overall dimensions for mine next time I'm in the truck

DAP automotive/marine silicone, the clear stuff. That's what I've used to seal all the holes in my rig and believe me there are plenty lol.
From the top of the truck: 3/8" hex head bolt with fender washer goes thru the roof. Silicone bolt head to washer and washer to roof. Inside there is another fender washer and a 3/8 nut; again silicone washer to inside roof. The nut clamps it all together and seals the hole. There should still be an inch or better thread left after the nut, and this is where you mount the console. Slide up a regular washer onto the stud, then your console, another washer, and finally a nut. I only bolted the TOP panel on my OHC, so the nuts are inside and don't compress the console when tightened. This holds the console in place and allows for it to be removed without opening the holes in your roof.
