center console for manual transmission

kansaskeith2004 · June 23, 2004

i have a 2004 reg cab silverado, its a 5 speed and right now i have a 60/40 split bench, i was looking at the center consoles of the LT's and Tahoes, and the cup holders seem to be right where the shifter on my truck would come out of the console, i was wondering could i put that console in my truck and would the cup holders pop out or would i have to cut some plastic, i was planning on puttin a small leather shift boot right in that square area. I just want to try and hide some of that huge shifter. if anyone knows of this being done already or of any measurements it would be appreciated.

thaks

How do you like driving that manual? I want one, but no one has a 5spd around to drive. Its all automatics around here and I want a manual! Thanks

I've got a stick too, and I've been thinking about doing the center cosole out of an LT. I don't think there is enough space in the cup holder spot to do it though. I'm going to have to test fit the one out of my dads LT before I buy my own. If you're looking fo one check e-bay, theres always a few for sale. Also I really want to do a denali center console because of the higher armrest and leather covering.

hogie, the 5-speed is the way to go. My 4.8 stick has more acceleration then the same truck with a 5.3 auto.
