center console

please post pics is you have done this.
I have 2012 f350 with the fold down seat in the center, ive read you can buy the console for the bucket seats and put in its place. my dilemma is I have the floor shifter for the 4wd. from the looks of things, this idea wont work in my truck. yesterday I had the bright idea of the console from an 08-10 as they don't go the whole way to the dash.
suggestions, options and pics please.

A lot of guys Did this in the 6 liter trucks, after the 08's came out. You should look in the 6.0 forum for info.

Not sure why I would ask there. I have a 2012 want a console from a 08-10 or an 11-and up. Not a 6.0. And need to know if someone here has done it

Because, if you have the fold down center console it is the exact same dated design that is in the 6 liter year trucks. The reason that I suggested you look there is because I thought it would help.

Ok, I've tried the superduty part of forums too. Some people want to swap. Thanks for the input

I have done both. put a 12 center console in an 11 and put an 10 center console in a 12.
I think your best bet is the 10 as it does stop short. I'll post pics in a bit.

Here is the link to the flow through center console I did. Not sure if it will help, but here it is.

That's what I want. Although I'd rather do the full length one if the costs would be the same. My concern was floor shifter for 4wd. They don't seem too easy to find as of yet.

Looks good though
I just need to find one now, so 08-10 are the same I believe?

yes, 08-10 are the same as far as bolt pattern, just varies by color and materials. These you can usually get for around $4-500 from wrecked trucks. The flow through will set you back $1,200 or more, but will it work with your floor shifter?
