Re: Center Console question ???

No specific answer as to what exact part was used from the GM factory but I yanked some buckets & the console (like pictured above) from an 89 Burb to swap over to my 89 CC dually.

After looking over the later style console it seemed 'cheap' compared to the earlier Squarebody versions so I found & used an earlier console w/the 89 seats. I used the factory 'Z' (stepped) mounting bracket from the Burb for the rear of the console. That required bolting the bracket to the console & then marking & drilling mounting holes in the floor.

The later console had no front bracket but the earlier unit would not sit as desired w/o something under it. To properly space it for level, I used 1" square .125 wall tube as a spacer. I put rivet-nuts in the floor pan, drilled oversized holes through the tube 'spacer', & used some extended length bolts to secure it in place. The spacers (front & rear) are hidden under the carpet & not visible.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
