08 console in OBS

I know ive saw someone had put an 08 console on a obs....just cant remember who. If you ready this can you post a pic and a little write up on what had to be changed? I have a 5 speed and i want more storage and a better arm rest. I just didnt know if it ended up being high enough to rest your arm on. Thanks
Here it is in an explorer.

I want to do that but I am afraid that I will screw something up in the wiring and fry my transmission.

When I did my 08 console, I did the short console...like this (these aren't my pics...my truck is an auto)

I do know that these consoles (the pics I posted and the one I used) are out of a super-duty. I think the f150 consoles (and maybe the later S/D consoles had rear holders. check out the thread taht was posted by fordpride. That guy used a F150 console and even wired in the auto shifter.

I have pictures of my console on my other computer...those pictures aren't mine but from the thread I posted.

Ill try to find mine and post up but mine is an auto.
