You have to cut a small square hole in your headliner at the back of the console. There are a couple of slots in the roof that two tabs on the back of the console fit into. You may also need to cut a small hole at the front of the console in order to clear the back of the map lights. Slip the console into the slots at the back, push the front up into position and install the one screw that holds it in from the front.
If the wires are there then just plug and play. If not, run your wires under the headliner and down the a-pillar to the fuse box. Find a "hot" source and tap in.
I am pretty certain for a reg cab there is a brace that goes under the headliner for the overhead console. The Extended cabs already have this.

i'll take mine apart for you tomorrow and take some pics for you. it should be a pretty easy thing, but it'll give you a guide to show how they did it from the factory.
As far as I know all reg. cabs need that brace. It's kind of a tinny looking thing. I have the same low spot in the headliner too, but no brace.
