Used Original GM Component
This is a genuine used GM component removed from a donor vehicle. It is not a reproduction, restored component or New Old Stock part.
Normal evidence of previous installation may include:
- Scratches and scuffs
- Fading or discoloration
- Dust or residue
- Worn edges
- Marks around attachment points
- Minor surface imperfections
- Previous repair or modification evidence
Used plastic interior components can become brittle with age. Review every available photograph closely for the exact condition, attachment points and included pieces before ordering.
The item photographed is the item represented by this listing. Cosmetic condition may be more noticeable under close inspection than it appears in studio photographs.

This component is also commonly described as the:
- Lower center-console shell
- Center-console skeleton
- Console support base
- Floor-console housing
- Lower console frame

It is not a complete center console. The visible upper trim pieces and vehicle-specific controls install separately.

Interior equipment and console details changed during the 1985-1992 production period. Compare the original console carefully before ordering, particularly when converting between model years or transmission configurations.

GM Part-Number Information
No reliable GM service part number for the complete lower-console base shown could be verified from the available photograph or public online references.
Numbers molded into an original console may identify the mold, individual shell section, color, revision or production tooling rather than the complete GM service assembly. The Hawks Motorsports inventory number for this used component is GM-C186USED.
Fitment should be confirmed by comparing:
- Overall console shape
- Front attachment area
- Upper-trim attachment locations
- Shifter opening
- Rear console configuration
- Side contours
- Existing vehicle components
- Any molded numbers visible on the buyer’s original part
Installation Information
Before installation:
- Remove the existing console components carefully
- Compare both console bases side by side
- Inspect the used base for age-related brittleness
- Transfer compatible shifter and upper-console components
- Verify clearance around the parking brake and shifter
- Confirm that wiring is routed without being pinched
- Test-fit every trim panel before final assembly
- Make sure the console is securely positioned
- Check shifter movement through its complete range
- Verify that all installed switches and electrical accessories operate correctly
Avoid overtightening screws in aged plastic attachment points.
