Default Anything interchangeable from a pontiac GTO into a 4th gen?

I got a guy that has full interior in a wrecked GTO in great condition and thought about trying to customize a nicer interior in my SS. Does any of the parts work or they all are different??

yeah, totally different aside from that. although id think the dimensions are similar enough that youd be able to swap it if you went all out (making it all fit yourself)

The GTO has a completely different body design. The front seats will work and maybe the shift ****, but I don't think anything else will work.

That would be a crapload of work, but sweet if done properly.

it's definitely possible...but would require a lot of modifications to the mounting points, plumbing for the HVAC, and electrical work to get everything to function in the center, such as the hazards and what not.

...and some inteligent fabs sills .

If you have a plastic welder and know how to use and understand plastic fabrication , vinyl/leather wrapping to re-finish the area you fabbed , can read wire diagrams and have a good grasp of how to cross wire things that shouldnt be there using OEM harnesses or improvise where u have to , you would be off to a very good start . You can make anything work really ...were about to start a 2010 camaro dash and center console going in a 72 monte carlo .

I would avoid this like the plaugue if youve never done any of the above or dont wanna spend lots of $$$$ for a shop to do it .
