@992dr there's a small junkyard in greensboro off Holden just past wet and wild called junk life... if your looking for smaller parts and pieces I'd check him out... I got the majority of my interior from him... he has probably 15 nnbs in the yard... some have been picked all thru but a lot still have decent parts...

Guess you already found one. I was going to recommend City Auto Salvage in Greensboro, they have later model Tahoes like ours......which most bigger yards don't have. One of my friends bought two SSV's from NC Surplus, and he got a center console from there for $75. I wanted to punch him.......
Had them look a bunch of times.... I called them like twice a week for a month... could never come up with a black one... quoted me $245...

I wish they were closer. That's a bit of a ride for me, I'm out on the coast in Morehead City.

Your console is lookin good.

It may be tilted due to an crash sensor or some other module mounted on the floor.

I seem to remember one of the other PPV/SSV guys mentioning having to relocate something to get the console to sit level.

Yeah well that's just swell... it's under the carpet now... so I'm either cutting the mounting bracket or cutting the carpet... I'll just have to flip a coin... heads I cut some... tails I cut some more...

Well dammit. I bought it. Was the last piece I needed to complete the console. Last thing I need is my kids getting hurt with that hole. 8-12 year old boys lol. Very curious

Thanks man. Can’t wait to see more pics of your progress

Did you ever get those holes filled...?
I haven't yet, but I've got some bigger issues now with the rear tailgate/door. It was open and barely was bumped by a large stationary item (house :confused:), now it has introduced a squeak and thrown the pressures in the cabin into a funk. When I close any door, a loud squeak emits from the drivers side of the rear tailgate/hatch. FML....

Sounds like a hinge might have got tweaked... might wanna check out that junkyard I mentioned above see if they have a hatch in your color...
