Width wize it will be fit. It may not be exact tho. I'm not sure on the exact dimentions. And the body styles are different so it may be too wide on the top or so, so it may look alittle weird.

I had a shell for my truck that came off a '98 (should be the same dimensions as an '02) and it was a good (but not perfect) fit. I just recently sold it cause I plan on custom making my own, but I would say it may not be a show quality fit but it will be functional and should look fine.

It doesn't fit the contour of the cab perfect, and it is about 1/2 inch too wide at the back on each side.

What is that on the rear hatch window? Is it shattered or a sticker or tint pealing?

LOL! There's not enough mud around here (I wish I had places to take it like in some of your pics Crazy!) But if you want "battle scars", here is where I punched a hole in the inner wheel well, dented the bed and chipped the paint when it fell off the jackstands and landed on the axle shaft (which I had "conveniently" set out of the way inside the wheel well) when I was putting in the trac-loc!

LOL! I guess that can be called a battle scar. But who won the truck or your fist? I guess I should have said trail battle scars. I live in the desert. So heavy rain is rare. So when it does my cousin and I, with his 97 Chevy 4x4 always hit up the good spots. (I usually have to pull him out of something)
