I got the standard f-150 console (about 2 feet long, storage compartment and two cup holders in the front). The Expedition console would run from underneath the dash to the rear of the front seat. Won't work in mine.

So I cut out the liner where the bolts will attach the console -
This is the internal cuts of the console. Once I tap the holes out I will mount the inner frame and then the shell.

I thought you had come by a grey Expy console and needed the grey F150 console. I was proposing a trade, but looks like you got what you need.

Just a heads up. The factory holes that are for the rear of the console are bigger holes than the front. I tapped the rears at 12-1.75 and the fronts at 10-1.50. I thought it was odd that they had different sized holes. Console is all installed now. If you have the chance, put it in before the seats. Much easier that way.

this the the best thing I have done to my truck although I have the full console. The extra storage, cup holders, no big *** bench just makes it so much better. They should have all come factory like this. here is a shot of mine.

Looks good. After I tear up my dash with this radio I've been putting off installing for months, I'm gonna take a trip down to a Pick a park and find some expy stuff.
