85 camaro console

I have a berlinetta and i am looking to replace that awkward radio with an aftermarket head unit. The only way to do this is if i can replace the console with another console from an 85 that doesnt have that swivel radio thing.

Re: 85 camaro console

I've swapped the console before and will be going back to it soon. The one thing you need to do is "reshape" the front drivers side corner of the console. the Berlinetta dash is different from stock and doesn't have a notch for the console like the standard Camaro does.

Here's a link:>Link
*See post #5

Oh, and as noted I also relocated the lighter location since Berlinettas are on the console and not the dash. You probably want it in the same place as I put it since some of the structure underneath limits placement.

Edit: You can add holes for the window switches if the one you find doesn't have them. Just mark out the location/size, use a small drill for the four corners and cut the straight sections between them.
