the book says they won't, the jcwhitney part #s are 1 # diffrent but i'm thinking it just because of the little changes for 98-99 i just don't know if any of those changes are to the gas tanks. i got the one from a 01 at a junk yard because all the 97-98 tanks are rusty an i didn't wanna spend $200 on a new one when i could get a tank with extra pump for a spare for $75. guess i'll just try and see

and you could most likely sell it back to the junkyard if it is wrong for most of your money back.
