Default Hit a lick at the junk yard today!!!

You guys won't believe this, but I found the 03-06 glove box and knee bolster for the full console conversion at the junk yard today for $27. That's right... only $27!!! I have been looking everywhere for the last month for one of these things! Today was a freakin good day!

Thanks man! I was super excited.... didn't even mind that I stepped in a mud puddle and ruined a good pair of shoes. lol. I think you are right about the 99-02 console, it should match right up. I'm not 100% though. Let me know if you need the glove box from one of those - they had a ton of 99-02's with full consoles.

You are both correct, the 99-02 console doesn't require a different glove box or knee bolster

It's like the boat I bought this summer. I've been looking for a year for a mint alumacraft F9 fishing boat and was willing to pay $1500 even if I found one in so-so shape. I found a guy selling one for $700 with over $1k in accessories (I didn't know they were included). Sold the accessories and got my boat for free

is that $65 with the glove box and knee bolster? I paid $140 for just the console on ebay since I couldnt find one that would match the color on my truck at the junk yards here

I'm sure that looks good too, but I got the parts so damn cheap I couldn't resist. Plus the whole lower half of the dash and console are the same color now - kinda looks like it was meant to be. lol

I found everything at Houston Truck Parts on 249 off of 45. Real good selection of NBS trucks and great prices!
