I really hated my old interior in my 79 Beast...i hated the center console!
This is what was in my truck: (before)
after a walking a local wrecking yard...i got the idea of installing BMW e38 7 series seats.
so now: installed BMW 740i power adjustable seats! + 1990 Suburban center console + 1990 Suburban doors (pw/pdl)
I had previously modified my floor pans, but the BMW seats are a super easy install....
7 series seats are wider vs. 3 series.
I clipped the harness from the donor-car, add a power-circuit and fuse and done! electric, bolster control and heated too!
The rear seats will take more time and custom mounts and fab.
The center console fit Perfectly and doors took a weekend to drill holes for the electrical and wire up.
I wired the doors and power doorlocks and seats to a New Circuit for simplicity!
Someday, Ill have it all apart and re-upholster in tweed/leather or gator......
Just Sharing my never-ending project!
