Default Wagon vs. Sedan. Interior interchangable?

I have an 83 240 DL wagon. What all years am I safe to search for on interior parrts. Also I found a sedan at the u-pull-it with a really nice black cloth interior. How much of it can I take out and put in a wagon?

I am not sure, but I believe from the B pillar back in the sedan is different from the wagon.

I did the same for my 89' 245 wagon, i got the interiors from a 91' 240 sedan. I used all the door panels, "B" pillar covers (delicate to remove), front seats, easy replacement. For the rear seat you can have it adapted with an upholstery shop, the first time i did this conversion i paid $115.00 to a local shop. The second time I've done this (last year) I did it with the help of my wife, that has an industrial sewing machine and copied patterns from the old station wagon rear seat upholstery to cut the sedan's upholstery. You can email me if you want to see pictures of the results.

Most interior parts are interchangeable. The back seat I don't believe to be interchangeable though, since the wagon's folds down a certain way. Also, the seat belts changed in 87 or 88. Other than that, I believe almost everything is interchangeable.
