Can anyone tell me why one seller on ebay says that the console won't line up and bolt into pre-'08 trucks? He says that he just has his sitting there and it stays put without bolting it down. What's he talking about? Everyone here has done it no problem. Am I missing something here?

I only have some in-work shots now, and have yet to upload them to the web. directfordparts.com is a class-act all the way. Thanks again for the hook-up! I am now in mod limbo for a while...

Thanks! I'm doing a bit more while I've got the seats out- hard wiring my 2500 watt inverter to a duplex outlet on the console & running some control wires for strobes and LED lights as well. Nice thing is I'll wire it all on the bench first and then drop it in and snake the cables- not have to hang upside down trying to make it all work without taking the seats out.
