expy overhead console

Anyone know if an overhead console from an expy will fit my '98 single cab?

Yes it will. Plenty of lightning guys use expy overhead consoles.

Just to do it. Same reason most of us mod our trucks...to personalize it. Unless they really want outside temp, direction, sunglass case and garage door opener pocket.

Only time I use my console is when I look up to see how cold/hot is it. I don't use the compass what so ever. BigTruckGuy, how do you get the MPG?

the expy displays in the overhead console offer the mpg's as ours dont.
you dont even have to have the whole console you can just switch the displaysd out.
im almost positive it should work. when i go to a junkyard im guna grab one and try it.
