It should work, I think dimensionally the seat & the console are the same........not positive however I tend to think that it should be the same clearance as the center jump seat.........

Yes, it will. Someone else put an XLT console in a truck with a manual shift x-fer case and reported that it fit just fine. Do a search for the thread, it's about 2 years old by now.

Well, I was E-mailed back, & that price was just for the outer portion of the console, if I ordered all of the rest of the parts, the guy stated that it would cost about $600.00.........I still looking...........for a good used one! I knew the price was too good to be true!

You must have missed this post. We've been discussing this for years on this forum.

Just get the console off ebay like everybody else. Mine was mint, no defects whatsoever.

I would love to get rid of the floor shifter on my King Ranch and replace it with a column shifter and the consoles in these pictures - too much to mess with though!

Like I said, mine was in mint condition, and came fron the SAME VENDOR with the same auction. I guess you must drive your truck with white gloves or something. Oh, did I mention mention my console arrived unblemished and in mint condition, as in brend new condition? You know, Brand New? Maybe you'll understand this, mine arrived in a condition that you would approve of.

I guess I'm one of the weird ones that got that console from the factory. It was part of the STX package on my truck. If I ever decide to take mine out and build a center console sub box, I'll let you guys know.
