Differences Between 97/98 And 99-2003 Year Models ?
As far as I know, as long as you get the bumper, valance, and grill from a 99+, you'll be fine. Header panel was the only issue, and only had to be changed of it were a very early build 97.
My Cousin comes out here from Michigan and he can't believe how Clean and Rust Free our Vehicles are.
That's about all he talks about until we take him & his Wife up to one of those narrow above timber line 4-wheel roads.
Sorry to ramble.
Yea, I had an 01 for awhile and wanted to convert to a 97/98 front end. They look much better IMO. Never happened though, the 98 ran much better than the 01 so I sold the 01.
Gotcha. Biggest thing 99+ had going for it was the larger grill selection. 3 for 97-98, and 5 for the 99+. Man, do I love the Lightning grill too.
