How ever the overhead console attaches itself to the truck.

The inner shell just pops in using tension clips like any other interior trim, pull hard from the front, tilt down to release harness, then slide forward to pull out the L bracket.

Thats more helpful. You dont happen to have one of the roof without the console do you?

Also, do trucks without the console even have the mounting hardware stuff for the console?

I do not have the trip computer in my truck or a console of any kind, I've had the headliner out, and the wiring harness is not there for the computer.

I dont need the wiring harness, just somewhere to attach something. Snaps or preferable bolts would be awesome.

Well I didn't look that close when I had it down, but I would imagine that the "slots" where the clips install are there.

It's been a few years since I installed mine, but the photo above is a good shot of what you will find in ALL of the trucks. There is a crossmember near the windshield and a crossmember at the rear of the console. The holes are there to match the console in all trucks. I can't remember if they were tapped or used sheet metal screws. There are no studs or anything like that. You can press on the headliner and find where the crossmember is located. What else do you need to know?

Perfect thanks Bill!

The last question is the big one.

Does the 05-07 (I believe those are the correct years.. correct me if not) overhead console fit with the same attachment things?

I'm pretty sure all the roof caps are the same through all years, to at least 2010. You might want to browse around this site and see if he makes any model year distinctions: Retrofit Ford F150, F250, F350 Overhead Console Kits
