Very vague question ya got there. Have you viewed any of the pictures here of other members trucks, mine included. While mine, my not be nothing to look at on the outside, I've been doing ALOT of work to my interior, and can say now I'm about 90% done.
Is your plastic trim faded, brittle, cracked, missing, or chalky from being outside in the sun? Have you been to any local junkyards/salvage yards to get replacement parts? That is where I'd start at. Little things and details go along ways. Get some quality vinyl paint and if applied appropriately it will do wonders for your faded plastic. I got lucky and found a very nice seat and perfect dashpad rather quickly, but I know they were a rare find. Consider a dashmat or a seatcover as these seem to get the most wear.
My most recent pictures can be found here if ya haven't seen already:

You said to match the console... What Console do you have? Did you make it? Or was it something you put in the truck along with the bucket seats?
Could you post a few Pics of your interior now?
Would be easy to make suggestions if we knew what you had to work with.
