I had mine for a whopping 30 minutes before I removed the stock stereo and
speakers, it had 12 miles on it at the time. :-)

Those look pretty nice, but I don't like that you lose the folding
armrest/console. When I designed mine I wanted to keep the armrest on the
top, that's why I didn't have enough airspace. They did a nice job on those,
they're pretty clean looking.

I think the only thing that changed between 2000 and 2001 was the dash, but
I'm not sure. Can anyone else confirm?

In my 2000, the center section is bolted to each seat and has no floor
connections at all IIRC. There should be holes in the floor though,
otherwise there wouldn't be any way to mount the free-standing center armrest
that's in the trucks with bucket seats. You may have to cut the carpet a
little.
