Console Swap

[jwandres]

I have an 02 chevy silverado ext cab. it has the seat that folds down and is your console but i bought a full center console. im wondering if the only thing i need to do is take out my seats and the old console and set the new one in and bolt it down or is there something else i need to do?

Should bolt right in. You will need to remove the center cupholder in the center of the dash if you have one there. I've got a full center console in my RC and it fits just fine, bolted right in. You need to use a 99-02 console though because the newer ones are different and I'm not sure if they will fit.

ya the conosle i got is a 3 piece console...but ur saying theres a bolt underneath the cupholders in the seat console?

I got the wrong year model and there is a 1 inch gap in mine between the console and the dash. Not a big deal to me but not a factory look at all.

ya i got an 00 model and it supposed to work from 99-02 so im good. but question. how do u get the cupholders out to take that bolt off?

[ShagNasty]

I meant the area that the console meets the dash. If there is a cupholder there or a cover you will need to remove that. Mine had a cover but some trucks came with the pull-down cupholders. There are two 7mm bolts that hold it in on the bottom.

Your center seat is held in by 2 bolts on either side that you will have to remove anyways to get the seats out.

I'm also interested in the console swap. Mine being an 04, what would or can i get one from to accomplish that?? And also is there anything special I would need to do to make it work?? I know I have the power point and ashtray right were it looks like it would meet the dash. I can care less about the ashtray, but I always use the power point.

you have to make sure that you get the same year model and there is a piece that goes on your dash so that it fits right up i have a gray fold down console/seat for sale if thats what your looking for

You just remove your seats put the new one in and put your seats back in it should only be 4 bolts, dont forget to unplug your seats, like quick said youll have to pop off your trim and led's in the cup holder are pretty cool they'll light up you water or whatever with the color of your lights
