A lot changed in 98. So much so, that I am selling my 96, as most of it won't transfer to my 98. (older truck is V-8, newer truck is V-10....) The electronics are radically different, but, for you, a fair bit of stuff would transfer, with maybe minor modification. (driveline parts and such.) None of the interior or electronics will swap.

Mid-run 97 parts really started changing. I've gone through headache after headache trying to do a steering column swap, eventually went with the original column and ugly steering wheel, changing just the no-key ignition. Early in the production run of 97 the position of the shifter arm was changed as well as the linkage arms... 96 to 97 saw change in ALL if not MOST electrical connectors.
there's a lot of donor parts available out there if you look hard enough (except for uncracked dash covers) just be sure the donor part will fit for sure. Seems like Dodge changed up things quite frequently towards the end of the 2nd gen run.
