I have seen a couple of suburbans (late 80s, early 90s) at the junkyards with a fake woodgrain bezel around the gauges. I have also seen some conversion suburbans with wood panels in various places in the interiors. You might be able to salvage some of this kind of stuff. I did not like the way they looked, but I'm probably not a good judge. I don't really like wood in interiors. The exception for me might be dashes in old British sportscars.
A friend of mine was planning something like you have in mind for his '87 pickup, but ended up buying a new truck before he finished it. He built armrests out of oak, and installed them, and was planning to create an oak veneer overlay for the gauge bezel and the trim on the dash and doors. You might be able to come up with something like that.
