    97-98 swaps....

    Is is possible to put a kit that goes to a 98 on a 97. I remember someone posting that they shared the chassis. Therefore, the bumpers must also be similar. Any info would be appreciated.

    different chassis, but it can be done since a guy did the 01 front on a 93-7 wagon. you gotta change the lights and the hood, quarterpanels, radiator support., hood latch (i think) theres other things, minor stuff...cant remember right now.

    Doesn't look like he changed his corners. And if he didnt' change his corners, then he probably didn't have to change his front quarters.
