I think you have to stick with the G body and same generation.

You can swap in a number of bucket seats. 82-02 Camaro and Firebird seats are direct bolt-ins if you use your tracks. My GP came with the same PMD seats as the Firebird (first set in car were original, new set are from an 82 T/A and they are identicle). All 82-02 F-body seats are interchangeable.

I am also pretty sure, but have not confirmed that S-10/ blazer seats are the same. I have seen T/A seats in a blazer, but I am not sure that they bolted in clean.

The biggest pain is finding a back seat to match. Pick a basic color and it shouldn't be an issue (I have found out to avoid Oxblood).

"Bolt in" is a relative term here. If you have a 1 piece bench seat, none of the buckets will just bolt in unless you add the proper stands for the seat mounts. I believe that the buckets will also bolt to the 60/40 split bench seat mounts such as seen in a Cutlass Brougham, Regal Limited, Monte LS, or Grand Prix brougham. The consoles will only bolt in to console cars as none of the others will have the proper brackets welded to the floor pan. Now you can add these parts with the addition of their mounts to any G body, but it will require welding or riveting to do it permanently. If you want a better console than those offered by GM, it will all depend on what you want as to what you use. I have a 1998 Nissan Frontier King Cab truck which has a nice console that would probably work well as a retrofit option. It has no wood grain, lock, emblems, or switches that tell what it came from. However, it does have 2 cup holders and a fairly large storage bin along with an armrest. It is short and would not extend far enough to touch a shifter. On these trucks, the shifter also gets a separate console with another larger cupholder, a change cup and a shift boot as part of it. I found it new online from a dealer for around $100, but you may be able to junkyard it cheaper as it is a standard part on all 98 King Cabs. To figure out what to use, I would measure the height of the armrest on an original car and compare it to the height whatever one you are thinking of using to be sure it will be comfortable.
