Claren Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I just registered to ask a (silly) question. I'm currently shopping for my first WD21, and wanted to know: How hard / feasible is it to take the interior of a donor vehicle from 85-92 model and retrofit it to a 93-95 model (manual transmission for both) ? I've always gone nuts for the older interiors in those rich, deep maroon or cerulean tones, with their orange dials and brushed metal radios and HVAC controls. As a result, I've been passing up on a lot of good later-model trucks because the instrumentation, steering wheel, dash, etc. is just too modern and not the same. I suppose if I'm driving a 30 year old car, I want it to feel archaic and retro, as odd as that may be. (This example is actually a 1997 D21 Hardbody, but you get the idea. Looks like every other Accord or whatever.) I suppose I'm asking if the following components specifically are backwards-cross-compatible between all the model years: -Instrumentation -Dashboard (Those deep maroon jobs, tho!) -Radio / HVAC controls -Steering wheel (I am aware I would be giving up airbags with the new wheel & dash) -Seats -Door interiors -Radio / HVAC controls Those are the big ones I'm curious about. Thank you so much for your input. Honestly, I get the sense it would be easier to work with a truck that is exactly what I want on the inside, even if the exterior isn't ideal. Am I crazy ? Oh, and are these cross-compatible with the corresponding year Nissan D21 "Hardbody" pickups ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Dont know how hard it is, but be aware that 93 has the last year of the square dash. It also has a 1 year only cluster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
