Default T56 Center console mod

Hey everybody. I have a 2002 rcsb step side and i'm currently doing the T56 swap. I was concerned about the tahoe center console not lining up completely and leaving a gap between the console and the dash. It lines up perfectly with the newer silverados 2003 and up. Is there any way to fix this problem with the 2002 and older silverados? thank you

I would be willing to bet you have to change the whole lower dash if not more to get it to line up... maybe more...

I'm confused, are you putting an 03+ console in a 99-02 truck? If so, you will need the glove box assembly for a console truck/suv from an 03+ truck/suv

Well if you use the 99-02 console it just bolts in. If you like the 03+ better though, you will need the glove box assembly to go with it
