You can 100% put the center console in a regular cab truck, my brother did in his, looks and works great. You will need both the glove box and drivers side knee bolster trim as they are different and butt up to the center console. You'll also probably want a set of seats from a truck with a console as well as they have a fold down arm rest. We got lucky and found a great clean complete set in a truck at the junk yard for cheap.

*edit* I should of read your whole post before replying, whops! But definitely look for a set of seats at the yard this weekend, you might be surprised.
