Default Adding overhead console

I posted earlier about tips on removing my headliner. I was thinking while I had this thing out about maybe adding an overhead console. Does anyone know if the factory wiring will be there? I thought maybe the wiring harness for all the trucks would be the same.

I have no idea, I just figured if this would be an easy bolt on now would be a good time to do it.

you also have to get different sun visors because the stock ones are too long, and you also have to figure out a way to mount it.

I did take the headliner down. There is nothing there as far as a wiring harness or mount. I did find a guy online that sells kits for a 97. It is basically a modyfied 99 and up console. It cost $179.00. It comes with full instructions on mounting and wiring it up. Check out the link below.
