Overhead Console Install

I was at the junk yard today and found a overhead console in a 99 Explorer so I grabbed it. I want to install it in my 93 F150. I know I have read of others doing this but I have not seen any details on how this it done. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

here is my console that I put in my truck, it is from a Dodge, but its a custom install so it does'nt matter what it's from. first I had to trim the side down a little bit to fit the contour of the headliner, then I cut the headliner out under where the console was going to mount, then I screwed it to the ceiling, be careful not to drill a hole thruogh the roof of the truck. Then all I did was run the wiring there is a sensor for the temp readout that mounts by the grill, and also I upgraded to a autodimming rearview mirror at the same time. Overall it was a easy upgrade, and I am happy with the results.
