I have a reg cab express i have put in a full center console in . I am still missing a few parts that the dealer cant find for me . If anyone on here has a 2500 or 3500 with a console and can get me the part number off the cup holder middle bin it would be a HUGE help !

Mods so far:

Smooth and painted stock mirror caps
Quad headlight swap
SLT silver dash trim
Full console from a SLT
Mufflex 14
Custom painted grille
Painted sport door handles

The only way you can tell i have a Express still is my stock base gague cluster . If any one knows where to find this bin so i can be done with the console let me know . Thanks !

Where would the part number be? My stepdad should be home today with his 2012 2500.

I think it would be on the bottom , The only way to get to it would be to unbolt it from the console . It has a 7mm bolt under the mats holding it in . I went to 2 diffrent dealers with 2500 vins and no dealer could find it .

That's pretty sweet that you put that in. Another way you can tell its not a sport is that the shifter is on the column. But that's no biggie. Lol

I agree about getting the upper glove box lid

Seats, turn signal mirrors, column shifter, uconnect, gauge cluster, top of the dash, door panels. Looks good though!

Sport or not, it's a damned nice looking truck! I really like that grill mod. I'm very close to getting mine painted. I think this might have pushed me over the edge.

It also makes me want to go back to my chrome headlights *without dorky amber reflector* New Projectors etc.

Really like the color match handles, maybe I'll order up a set.

Curious were you able to buy the center console as one whole piece and if so how much did it cost you? I've been wanting one of those in my truck!

Thanks guys ! Yes its no sport but for the price of a Express it was to good to pass up knowing i was going to mod it .

The console is a very easy swap as long as you get a console with all the brackets . Finding the 2500 bin to make it all work seems to be the hardest part ! Consoles pop up on ebay alot but they dont last long . I have seen them go for 300 to 800 with all the right parts . You will need the longer radio bezel as well .

Thanks ! I love the grille mod on the white trucks . It helps not to be a total white out . For the Door handles there only 35 bucks each , And for the mirrors just pop off the glass and paint the factory caps . White Express trucks are the best :drool:

Awesome job, did you have the bench seat with the flip up Console in the middle?
