You first have to find a dash that's actually usable. Good luck.

Then you'll need a steering column AND intermediate shaft, door trim and internals, and knowledge of how to rewire basically the entire interior so it'll all work.

I don’t see how it׳s gonna be executed at this period, but how about replacing only the door trims to 94? Will they fit the 95 dash?

FWIW, sell your current 95 and buy a pre-94 truck.
This is the best advice in the thread, and will remain to be regardless of whatever else anybody posts afterwards. Except, I'm sure he meant buy a pre-95, since 94-older is the style you want.

Yes, you can do the swap. Once you get through working out all the details, you'll wish you hadn't gone to the trouble and expense. Then your truck will also be worth far less to anyone looking to buy a 95-up because they like the newer interior...and regardless of your plans today, you will almost surely eventually sell the truck.

I get the desire to do it, totally - to me, 94 is the best year for the old interior, and I prefer the old interior far more than the new. But you have to change -everything- to make it right.

Getting those parts shipped to Israel, assuming you don't have them over there, would be a nightmare, I'd think.

I believe you would have to find a new door with the 88-94 panels already on it, and I also believe the wiring is different between a pre-95 and 95-later. Still, not worth it imo.
