overhead console

aaronh · February 8, 2005

I know you all have probably covered this a million times but I couldn't find it anywhere. Will a 99 overhead console fit in a 2002 silverado ?

MS3DALE · February 8, 2005

Yep,It'll fit right in.I have done this myself a couple of times,In both my '94 and my '04 in which I put the full overhead console to replace the "good-for-nothing" mini console.

And believe it or not the overhead consoles from the old-body-style trucks are the same and will fit in the new-body-style trucks.

By the way,Welcome aboard

Should point out though. Some trucks not originally equipped with any console will not have the mounting bracket for the consoles. My friend's 2001 reg cab was this way and a 2002 ext. cab I took the headliner out of was this way too.

Just be sure to check before you cut the headliner.

Good point,I was lucky on my '94 and my '04 and so was my buddy when he put the full console in his '95 Reg.Cab. all the mounting points were there.

Hey ms3dale,

so r u saying in your `04 (like mine) they already have the tabs in the rear to mount the long console? Mine is on the way. (ebay special ).

also do you have any pics? My interior is medium leather grey, but the roof is like a shall/super light grey color. what color did you install?

thanks,

JC

Yes,My '04 had the tabs in the rear to mount it,All I had to do was cut a hole in the headliner and the full console slid right in,it then uses the existing J-nut and screw in the front.

Sorry,no pictures but the headliners/consoles in the "NBS" trucks are the light gray color,thats whats in mine.

Very cool, just received the long overhead console (ebay special, about $50 delivered)it has grey trim. My interior is Medium Grey but the roofing liner, visors and current short console are like in a Shale color (tan/grey mix?). My `04 was ordered and built in May `04 so wonder if they put the `05 roof interior in it?

THanks for replying,

JC
