1980 interior in a 77?

Title says it... except for the matter of "correctness" how much if any of an 1980 interior will transplant to my 77? I have nothing but seat frames now... there's a local guy parting one out. May be a way to get decent stuff reasonably. Thanks!!!

At least door panels, seats & console.
Do you have the 77 dash - 78 up is completely different.

Door panels are completely different. 78 up have the pulls moved. Seats will work, but can't keep the power part. Dash is completely different. Console will swap. Lots of 1-year parts to a '77. Hope you have a good steering column and turn signal switch as they can be hard to find.

While the door panels are completely dffferent, they will work if the 78- hardware from the doors is used for the interior handles. I started to mention that before.

You should have no issues with the drivers seat either - power seat didn't come out until 1981.
