I bought seats and a wide console out of an 01 Expy from CL. Seller didn't return my calls after I reallized I didn't have the mounting brackets and the white fiberclass piece that the outer shell mounts to. That was last summer. Finally I decided to get this going. I found a 97 Expy with a narrow console in a junkyard. I used the brackets and base out of that with relatively little trouble. I removed the AC ***** from the unit, then wrapped vinyl over it, and re-mounted the pieces in the front and the 2 areas in the rear where the rear AC and stereo controls were. I have the seats to do in the next couple days. The guy who wrappped my console lid quoted me 1K for Katzkin leather on the seats!! Ummmm, no thanks, I'll just try some cheaper covers for $170. Anyway, here are my install pics!!

 

Oh, and by the way....to the parts guy at the LKQ counter here in town who said this can't be done....

But serious thanks to the great link here for the step by step. That's one of the first one's I've done without surprises!!

Really nice! I would LOVE to do this.

 

Cool man! I'd like to do this also eventually. So are you just rocking one seat up front from now on?

 

That's Awesome! Looks really good - great mod!

 

Good usefull mod....looks good

 

Yep, for today anyway!!! No luck for taking someone home tonight.. 'course there is still my seat, the floor, backseat, bed of the truck.....

 

nice.. best mod by far to do to the interior .. love it when i did mine

 

need to find me one of those bad boys. These look similar to the HD consoles too.

 

Just got my Gryphon display mounted in the front. I will get pics up soon!
Off to get a distribution block so I can run power to my power seat I'm putting in tomorrow, and a couple 12v cig lighters for cell phone and game chargers.

 

cool. post some pictures up after everything is done.

 

Gryphon mounted.

 

Looks good. I'm doing the mod as well. Anyone have a narrow console swap?

 

Nice. That rear A/C faceplate that you covered up with vinyl is a great place for a rear dvd player if you ever install a flip down for the back.

 

so this is the wide console? looks great!
