[QUOTE="XFIRE82, post: 139887, member: 2292"] almost anything is possible in the customising world but : in your case it may be a little tough from what I see or know. The console in your 76 has the wheels to control the heat etc , the 78 up are different with levers so you would need a donor car to get all the cables, switches etc . Shifter and park brake are the same. Seats you can make work, if added power drivers then need to wire that up which is easy. Door panels won't match up to 76 doors cause of the handle and holes for remote mirrors , door locks.
