Default interior parts interchangeable

What years of interior parts are interchangeable with a '74? My car will be a driver but I want to keep as close to original look as possible. What about gauges also? Thanks!

I may be missing something here, but if you want to keep your '74 as original as possible, why are you looking to swap different years parts?

I bought a project car that needs an interior. I plan on the car being a driver not a numbers matching show car. I just want it to look reasonably original. Like the console parts were the same through a number of years etc. Not sure about things like door panels and gauges.

Excellent reference; full of pix:


Pix here, but Dr. Dobbins' book is better:


You can compare interiors for different model years.
