Center Console Replacment Help!!

[Daps]

Does anyone know where I can find a center console replacement for my 2000 XLS. I would like one that I think the earlier ones or the EB have that reach all the way to the ashtray. Which model year are they in and will they fit a 2000 xls. Or some type of add on that I can put there? I want to mount an LCD screen there.
Havent seen any on ebay and dont really want to go the ford route. I may check the junkyard if you guys can tell me which yr and if they'll fit my yr

Thanks

I know that the '95 long console fits an '01 XLS. I have one in mine now. Jason 25 and I swapped consoles. All years '95 and up (maybe some before too) offered both short and long consoles. You need to get the front of the heaterbox (under the dash. The long console has heater ducts in it), and the metal mounting plate off the floor. The mounting plate has to be drilled off because it's spotwelded down. The wiring harness is the big issue. My rear radio controls don't work because the '95 has a different wiring harness. If you can get a console from the same year as your truck grab the wiring harness from inside the dash too. It will save you major grief if you want to wire the heater and the radio up. I managed to get my heater working with about 6 hours of working on wiring issues.
