Default I need some help.

I just bought a 1980 camaro and I was wondering could the interior of a 1974 camaro fit it? what about body parts? they are both 2nd generation so I was wondering. I found someone to sell me full interior for only 100 bucks seats included but its from a 1974

I know that the Dash changes in 78 or 79 and I think it also goes to a five clip instead of a three. 70 - 74 floorpans are different so that might change the positioning of the bolts in the seats. That's easy to measure though with a tape measure. Center console should be the similar but I don't know about the bolting to the transmission tunnel.

Matching the paint should be easy. Just get that from your trim code on your body tag and most any decent professional body shop could help you with that.

78 was the last year of the curved dash, so that wont fit, the floor pans are different, but like kyphur said you can make them fit real easily. the consol is the same. what to look out for is the moldings around the rear windshield. the sail panel in the interior i think is different. as are the kick panels and all that other bologna. and another thing is does it have to all be redone? if it needs redoing id look else where for this stuff

Yeah, the rear sails will be different due to the window being square (like the 70 - 73) rather than curved (75 and up).
