Default Trying to acquire a 94 suburban and have an interesting idea

I had a 94 suburban for my first car owned it for 4-5 years and probably put 5000 worth of upgrades into it the only place i didnt touch was the motor. But anyways i am trying to buy it back. The guy i sold it too is a guy that lives in my town so who knows i might be able to get it back because it has sentimental value to me over anything. But anyways now i own a 02 escalade and i had this idea yesterday i have not really done any looking into it but the most i saw of a newer interior in an older truck was west coast customs they put the dash, door panels everything into a 1990 i think it was and the interior was out of 95-99 truck. When i owned it i bought leather seats out of a 95 and put it in them along with a bunch of other things but my idea is to put a 02 if it will work escalade interior dash pieces and such in an older vehicle. Hell ill settle for a 99 if that wont work. But if anyone has any ideas comments expereince. Or a plane yes or no answer on if it can be done let me know im sure it would be more wiring but who knows let me know guys take care and have a good night

It will all work with the right years. you have a 2002 Cadillac so it should all be compatible with post 1996(or 1998) models. Remember your Escalade under the high brow trimmings and whatnot is the same car as a the Yukons(not the Chevrolet, but the GMCs). All built in the same factory at the same time. So once you disassemble the entire car to your liking you can dress it up how you want to.

What the autobody and collision guys do here in NY, is take a Silverado or a Sierra pickup(1/2 ton or 3/4 ton, dont see too many 1 tons, unfortunately) bolt a hydraulic ram in the bed, cut a slot in the tailgate for the ram rod or tow tongue. Even slap a wheel rack under the rear bumper and then use these truck as custom built wreckers. They race to accident scenes and pick up the cars and drag them back to their body shop. But they have done all types of things to these, Cadillac nose pieces, Escalade taillights, interiors. With General Motors cars the sky is the limit for what you would like to build.

those are the answers i like to hear guys thanks the suburban is a 94 and i wouldnt rip the interior out of my car im just thinking an escalade interior any year preferably an 03 and up because i wanna put a monitor in right where the cd changer goes that whole area. I think all the harnesses need be can be swapped im just worried about the width of the dash between the two i think it can be done. I still have to see if i can buy my suburban back which is probably gonna be a challenge in its self haha.
