Since I still have the factory bucket seats from my other '03, I would like to swap them into my "new" '03 if I could track down the center console that goes in between the seats.

 

You can find center consoles in any 97-00 Explorer. Just go to a Pull it yourself junkyard (I use Pull-A-Part) and get a list of all those year Explorers on the yard and walk around till you find one with the center console you want. Grab the OHC if you want that to. Plus anything you can make a buck off of on here like radio bezels and what not.

My Akron Pull-A-Part has TONS of center consoles. TONS. Just look around.

If you find one of these in gray let me know, I want. Both pieces. The outer and inner, just remove the three screws that hold the whole assembly in:

 

Yeah, I had the expo center console in my other '03. Didn't really like it that much.

 

Heres a pic of my long gone '03 with the console I'm looking for if it helps..
