What years of rearends will interchange with a 97 chevy 1500 4x4

the first year after your model that had disc brakes fitted as standard
problems include hand brake cable(different)
need a different proportioning valve in the brakes system to the rear
the stopper will be suspension mounting points or if the rear axle has gone independent

Some body panels might interchange. Contact your local juck yard and there parts cross book will tell you for sure.

No.
An auto parts store can tell you for sure, but my book shows that alternator fitting 1996-1998 V6 models.

97-2003 are the same pumps on Chevy.On the GMC Jimmy truck,4.3 is also 97-2003.

CALL YOUR LOCAL JUNK (SALVAGE ) YARD THEY HAVE ALL THE INTERCHANGE DATA AND CAN FIND ONE FOR YOU AS WELL

1997 model just work with the 1997 fuel pump; the same situation with the 1998 model and 1996 model.

For other years, they can interchangeable, as Transport 1990-1995.

Hope helps (remember rated this).

Your local salvage yard has a "Hollander" interchange guide that tells what parts from which year vehicle will fit your truck.

try any salvage yard they will look it up and let you know what can interchange with your vehicle and also try your local dodge dealer

i do believe they are different transmissions. i know my '95 chevy pickup 5.7 is a one year only transmission for correct fit. best thing to do is call local junkyard. they have great interchange guides and could tell you if it will work and what things may need to be changed
