Center console swap?

51 stovebolt · March 24, 2017

I have been watching this one for a while, seen a few part number changes etc... On the sight it also has the arm rest as an additional part. does the armrest come with the console assembly ?

It (The arm rest) does come with the console assembly. I don't think anyone has reported otherwise. I bought mine from gmpartsdirect.com and it did.

Yes I was pleasantly surprised I didn't need to order that expensive part separately. Believe it was the console assembly, 2 trim pieces (L and R), front bracket and top "plate" as folks have called it, which includes cup holders, and you need to get the trim right on the plate so it matches your truck. I used GM parts direct and was very happy with their service. I wanted to make sure the console I was ordering had the white stitching and the rep went back to the warehouse, took pics of the one I was about to order, and emailed them to me. Received it all in a couple days.

Thanks !! guy's was getting worried. I ordered mine from GM parts direct also but the illustration does not show the armrest, then they have a separate listing for it had me worried. good to hear just waiting on my order now, also sent payment for the sub-box that fits inside the console !!!!

Don't know if this has been attempted yet or not but my ultimate plan is to remove the jump seat and have it installed in the rear. I will have to modify (split) the rear seat to get this done. but driving around without rear seat is not a problem (unless the grandbaby stops in) !! So if any one has any experience with this mod please let me know !! I may just start another thread for this??

can't get a hold of anyone at GM parts direct ??? It showing some of the parts does not fit my truck ??? Maybe it's because the part number has changed. Called (GM parts-online) and spoke with a real parts guy and verified they were in stock !! going to give parts direct until the morning to respond then I will cancel my order !!! GM direct has free shipping which makes the deal a little better.

Nice 51 stovebolt! I placed my order for the parts on Monday and they should be shipping any day now. I order the $14 cable to try and get power & data through the front USB ports when I do he install. Can't wait to convert my truck over. I work out of my truck and the cab is my mobile office. It will be great to have a place to store my iPad, notebook, and other work stuff besides the passenger seat. Any please document your install and snap some pics. What year model is your truck?

Sir

I would very much like to see some pictures and or your comments on getting the electrical and data ports to work. I am looking hard at doing this but I want to be sure that I will still have all my USB ports, 110V plug, AUX jack and power port in back working when finished.

Also would you be able and willing to post a list of the different part numbers you used to build your console at your convenience? I would be interested to know your total cost for the project if I may be so bold as to ask. You built exactly what I want. As you seem to be the most recent person to do this project I figure your data will be the best.

Any info you share would be of great help. Thank you in advance.

I also ordered the cable, I hope reading back through the thread will be my guide!! I also want the usb's and such to work. I'm so particular about the data part of the usb's as long as they get power to charge. I can Bluetooth everything else. when my wife is in the truck as a passenger and needs the charger it automatically picks up her phone and goes through radio. I disabled this function in the car and sure I can in the truck?

On another note the new console has a card slot, my other one did not. it also has a light in the storage area !! I'll keep ya posted, waiting on the custom sub box to arrive now.

As stated I will be reviewing this thread to get all things working, As for the part numbers go to page 64 and see the reply by (SIL2500) I ordered exactly what he ordered. Make sure you have the correct color to match your interior I have the synthesis. total cost for parts is $669 from GM-parts direct (free shipping)

Same here 51 stovebolt. I should be receiving shipping confirmation tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm already digging back through this thread and making some notes. I hope to start the install next weekend and will document my process and snap some pictures.
