Interior updating
I have a 1984 Corvette that could use a new dashboard as it has seen better days
can i upgrade to the 92-96 style dash in my car obviously wiring the car will be a problem but will the dash itself bolt into my older car?

Just a point of info: The general interior update was in 90, and stayed the same for 91. 92 and 93 are the same except for the gray plastics were made black. 94-96 got a mild facelift and a passenger airbag.

but buy the time you buy everything to do it. it would be cheaper just to sell the car and buy a newer one

I did it to my 89.. If I could do it over, I am not sure I would.. it was fun I planned it out and it worked out and looked OEM, but it was a lot of work and I had the L98 so wiring was easier, not sure how well it would work with an 84.
