I have lots of photos...what's the issue? Just pay attention that different years had different consoles and different dash boards. Mixing and matching can be a challenge.

Do you know what years go to what?

I am not sure, but know that my 1977 automatic console and my 1980 manual console where different where they meet the dashboard. The 1980 dashboard comes back further, though it is not obvious until you start fitting parts.
