i have a 99 1500 sport and was wondering what the signifigance of the "sport" was. Its not an urgent post, but its been bugging me for a few weeks.

 

It's an apperance package. Body color matched fascia, grille, mouldings, tail light trim, sport decals (and in later years, decals for the regular badges). I'm sure there's more. I know there's been posts about it. If you do a search, you should find em

 

Rom hit most of it, other than the headlights and sidemarkers. Starting in '99 the Sport has the 4 bulb headlight system with the clear lenses and sidemarkers with the clear lenses.

The biggest difference as already mentioned is the plastic bumper cover in place of their goofy steel/upper/lower cover combo that never fits together right.

 

that makes sense
thanks

 

sorry to jack the thread, but would a sport bumper fit on a 2500. i want to get rid of the chrome bumper. thanks in advance. -justin

 

yep, you'd just have to do the same conversion has the half-ton guys do. Replace the chrome bar with the reinforcement & bumper cover combo.
