I've searched around this forum and a couple of others but I haven't been able to find anywhere that says what parts are interchangeable on the 1st gen frontiers. What I mean is, are there any parts from the xterra, pathfinder, or any other Nissan vehicle that will fit on the frontier?
Parts that are interchangeable...

Haha, No. The people behind all of us that rear end frontiers are accident prone. Also, to the best of my knowledge nobody makes an "stock" aftermarket replacement.

There are a bunch of stock ones on eBay. I can't imagine they are all genuine Nissan. Where they come from, who knows.
As far as aftermarket offroad/heavy duty style bumpers, Shrock makes one, so does KMA. A custom rear bumper should be a quick and easy job for any competent fab shop if neither of those two fit your needs.
Another thing from Hardbodys I know is interchangeable is the tailgate, and the beds are the same size. They are WAY more similar than most may think. A first gen Frontier is more closely related to a Hardbody than a second gen Frontier, they have absolutely nothing in common other than a model name.

I just bought my son a 2003 Frontier King Cab XE V6 for his first ride, the body is mint but the interior needs new seats and carpet bad. Used seats in decent condition are hard to find. Are you saying I could use same year xterra or pathfinder seats in his truck? That would open up my search for seats!

Swap for Xterra Seats. YES, 100%
Dont think pathfinder seats are a direct swap.
Altima Seats, i've seen a thread where a guy got the leather seats out of an Altima and just had to swap the rails (feet) and he was good to go. An Altima of the 2000ish style.

Will a 2005 V6 Frontier Engine and transmission work in a 2002 Xterra without rewiring or special motor mounts? Looking for plug and play. If not, what is the newest year that will work? Thanks!

Highest year you could go would be 2004. 2005 the went to the 4L its a different beast.

Rust isnt really a problem. Just find one that needs the least amount of work. Ontario uses salt in the winter so on an 18+ year old truck every used part you find will have rust to some degree. I'm a welder fitter fabricator so to me rust is easy.

2005 to current Frontier, 2005 and later Xterra and 2005-2012 Pathfinder will all fit. 2004 and earlier had a larger bolt circle and will not fit a 2012.

Can you interchange the knock sensor for an 04 frontier that is part number
22060-30P00
I can find a ton of the second ones with a harness but not the first.

There is something called a Hollander Manual.

Are you doing a knock sensor relocation? If so, you use a knock sensor for a 95-99 Nissan Maxima, which is 22060-30P00, along with the subharness P/N 24079-31U01.
