Salvage yard for an Expedition console. It will take some painting, and maybe some other mods, but that's what most are using. You may also find a good ulphostery shop to cut the seats, or just get some racing seats.

That is a good How-To using a 99' Ford Expedition Center Console.

Those are Corbeau. Look around, there are others besides those. Sparco makes a good racing seat also.

If you like the SVT seats, buy the passenger seat from the Expedition you get the console out of.

Take the back off your Lightning seat and swap it onto the Expy seat. Have an upholstery shop cut the seat bottom material down to fit the Expy seat bottom and boom - you are finished.

I paid $50 for the console, $75 for the Expy seat and the upholstery guy did the cover work and re-covered the console armrest for $200.

He stitched the seat cover EXACTLY like OEM. You cannot tell it was cut from the original bench, he did such a nice job.

If memory serves me the 2001- 2002 consoles are wider on the top and give you a nice armrest, the earlyer models were narrower because the seats had armrest built in.
You can also put a Harley lid on the newer models.
Here is one on ebay
looks like all you need are the floor brackets. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EXPED...Q5fAccessories

I have a center console and a pair of grey cloth buckets with arm rests out of a S/Cab... they have no sliders left (used on my navi conversion) it doesn't have the front piece on it but still is a console. Will post pictures and take offers if anyone is interested.... Heres the link.
