Why you so fond of stock 01 console anyway? 8)
There are plenty of more decent aftermarket ones.
In either case console swap isnt hard - its just four bolts to get off 8) You can search "Parts&Accessories" for "console" and you will find plenty of threads on installation of steelhorse console, and stock one would be even easier.

Then again - you seems to think about dash not about console 8)
