@Mpgrimm2 might be able to answer this question although I don't think it's a part he sells. Most people are going the other way. What radio are you installing that requires the lower trim controls?

Yep... No one is doing that or investing any time in trying to make that happen...

What you need to look into is either an idatalink Maestro interface/Scosche bezel (Req's idatalink Maestro compatible radio)

Or
the best option for you and any aftermarket double din radio IMO is the PAC Radio Pro bezel interface kit...

PAC RPK4-CH4101

You're gonna have a bad time with that. Don't do it. Not compatible with your truck/8.4 HVAC system.

a suggestion :
go to the Crutchfield website

Enter your vehicles description & answer the picture questions

Go through the radio choices
with each choice, it will make suggestions of the wiring & parts needed

You will want to choose a radio that allows you to retain your steering wheel controls, that is important
