If you don't have it, I strongly suggest you buy the AIM for your year. All the major vendors sell them. It has diagrams of all the major assemblies of your vette, used along the assembly line buy the builders. If you don't have the AIM, go to one of the vendor's sites and find the pages with the parking brake console. Those parts diagrams are from the AIM and can suffice for the time being until you get the AIM. Get the CHassis Service Manual also.
Also, did you do a search here? A lot of interiors have been replaced with pics.

BTW, you & my dad have the same name.

The AIM will help.

The covers have little ears which slip into slots on the mount. Pop the old off; slip the new on. It is literally Insert Tab A into Slot B.

There is also a "rear" attachment bolt which you have to access via one of the rear storage compartments. That [little known] bolt has driven lots of folks crazy because they can't get the darned thing loose.
