WD21 Dash / instrumentation / Steering wheel / Other Interior swap - compatibility between model years ?

[Claren]

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 ?

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
