Interchangeable parts
Engine will cross-over. Transmission will not. Rear axle and driveshaft will. Anything electrical will not. Anything frame/chassis-related forward of the bed will not. Interior is a mixed bag (mostly not).
The outside looks the same and thats where the similarities end.

The bed did not change, only the frame (from the mid-crossmember forward). Heater core I don't know if it's the same or not, but i'm going to wager they are different. Compressor I think is the same since that's engine-side, however the AC line routing changed every other year.
Ty all but apparently the frame on the 99' I was going to buy is twisted from an accident so I probably wouldn't get the bolts off or have a hell of a time doing so ,so I decided to pass ,but all the info is greatly appreciated for future reference.
