Missing Part to Overhead Console?
Hi guys, so I bought my 2nd Gen Quad Cab Dak used. Few interior and exterior cosmetic problems, but nothing (except the interior) typical of a normal truck used for normal things.
When I bought it, I was missing a piece of my overhead console. I've never seen it before, and dealerships are clueless as to what it could've been.
Here is what my overhead console looks like:

Sorry for the big image, HD Camera Phone.
Best the dealerships and I can figure is that it was some kind of paper clip thing.
Anyone got the same overhead consoles, tell me what it is, and possibly where I can find one?
Bonus question, I'm looking for a black diamond toolbox for my truck as well.
Trying to stay below 200. I know I need it where the bottom corners are cut and angled due to the short bed.
Any suggestions?
I'll get pictures of Dakota up soon, until then work calls.
Thanks y'all.

Here's what it should look like. Still not sure what it is, though. The best I can find out from googling is that it's a clip that takes the place of the trip computer if you don't get that option.

Here's what it looks like with the computer.

Okay, well now I know what it looks like, but no idea where to find one. No junk yards around my area have Dodge anything in.
On the subject of tool boxes, I'm looking at this one here - http://harrisonburg.craigslist.org/pts/3262966463.html Wondering if it'd fit my Dakota, seeing as the bed is so short.
