Can you take interior from a 1993 Chevy g20 and put in 1986 g20?

No, you can't directly swap the entire interior from a 1993 Chevy G20 into a 1986 G20 without significant modifications. While they're both G20 vans, there are substantial differences in body style, dashboard layout, and mounting points over those seven years.

Here's why:

* Dashboard and Instrument Panel: The shapes, sizes, and mounting locations of the dashboards are completely different. The 1993 dash won't simply bolt into the 1986's frame.

* Wiring Harness: The electrical systems are different. The 1993's wiring harness won't be compatible with the 1986's. You'd need extensive rewiring.

* Door Panels and Seats: While some parts *might* be similar, the mounting points will likely be different, requiring modifications to both the van and the interior components.

* HVAC System: The heating and air conditioning systems are not interchangeable.

* Center Console and Floor Consoles: These will not be compatible.

In short, while you might be able to salvage *some* individual parts (like certain switches or trim pieces), a complete interior swap is impractical and would require extensive fabrication and custom work. It would likely be far easier and more cost-effective to either restore the 1986's interior or source a used interior from another 1986 G20.
