You have a 2wd auto 99 and below the trans tunnel is different from the 97 +and up 2wd manuals which is what that is out of. And the 97-04 4x4s both auto or manual have the larger hump. I have said this before and there is the proof. What year is the arm rest portion out of? not the round shaped thing

the arm rest is is original (98), the cup holder section im not sure, and the floor piece i got out of what i thought i remember being a 98 (6cly 2wd <-- obviously, 1 hole)

Yeah you have to change the black portion on the original console supposedly (or did you already?), but the other floor piece will still have a gap in it due to the floor shape.

You can see the difference in the 2000 and up floor, here is mine. Then look at yours.

Wider and taller. You have those clips up front also, but then your pan just falls a couple inches. Mine comes straight back.


You will not find the piece that has the hole in it that is going to fit your truck as a 2wd 97-99 never had that piece. Is it dark agate? How much? I need it

You could make it work if you really wanted to but the pans are indeed different.

a 3.9 or 5.2 manual 2wd should have the piece i want right?

$20 + s/h ?

Yeah, they come with them but their pans are the same shape as mine. Just have a shift hole. It will still not fit your floor correctly. Is it dark agate or the light color?

Yeah mine is a 2000 auto RT. I am swapping in a TKO when I get the time, and I can fit a 97 and up manual console in mine just fine. I have one but need a dark agate. They are the same as what you have just have the hole cut out. I would hate for you to buy another and run in to the same problem, but they are different.

wait duh it does make since.wonder if i could use the floor piece outta an auto and cut the shifter side out

Idk. You have a manual console now. The auto doesnt have that hole. I suppose you could but it would probably be easier just making yours wider by placing something under the carpet to make it wider

The 2000 + auto and 97-04 manual or 4x4s auto share the same pan.

Supposedly 2000s + have a larger tunnel to fit the 4.7 and 45rfe that started that year.

It gets confusing but

97-99 2wd - small tunnel
2000 + 2wd - large tunnel
97-2004 4x4 or 4x4 manuals have large tunnel also
97 and up 2wd manuals will also have a large tunnel

are you sure the early manual gen 3's have the wide tunnels.

putting something under the carpet might be the best bet

so a 97-99 2wd manual will have the small tunnel?

well that sucks so either find a auto and cut it or try and make this one fit
