I went to put the console in last night and it wont fit!
I though my glove box trim would work since my truck had the fold down cup holders.....


Where did you guys buy yours? I searched a little on eBay without any luck.

Well I called the local salvage yards on my lunch break with out any luck. I get home and start calling yards west of me because they are the only places still open. 2 yards said "I have the part but I dontaq think I want to sell it" WTH!?!? I know there used to be a member or two on here that worked/owned a salvage yard. Does anyone know who they are?

Shakin,
That kinda defeats the purpose of a salvage yard - aren't in biz to sell?!? BTW, what Hotchkis leafs did ya go w/ ? That's the dropped version right? Did ya get any other Hocthkis goodies? Let me know how u like the handling.
