Could I go and pickup a 99-03 bumper then just take off the 97 bumper and bolt the 99-03 right on? Would I be able to use a 99-03 2WD grill guard after that????

Why dont you guys just go trade your 97 and 98s in for 99 up instead of making your trucks look like the have been wrecked. Cause I no these grills and bumpers by heart if I pull up to buy someones truck and they have a 99+ bumper and its a 97 than im going to ask how hard has it been hit. Just my opinion.

Personally I like when people mix and match these trucks. That's what makes these trucks so nice. It's like why do I have on the lightning lens when I don't have a lightning? Because they like it.
These trucks can handle a lot of parts from a lot of different lines.
