I hit a deer going 75 mph on I81 several months ago. Surprisingly, I was able to continue driving the 1/2 mile to my exit and back it into a parking spot. I hit the deer dead on, causing significant front-end damage. I am going to fix it myself. There is someone who has a Chrysler T&C that is a 2000 model. Mine is an 01 GC Sport. I know that the T&C is the same Van, but not sure if the 00 and 01 are fully compatible as far as the body and under the hood. I need a pass. fender and headlight, grill, hood, ac condenser, radiator, brackets for all of the above, and probably a few more things I can't think of at the moment. The guy wants $200 for it all--I pull it. Will it all switch okay?

 

Body stuff isn't my thing but you do understand the 00 is a 3rd generation van and the 01 is a 4th gen van right? There were major body style changes.

 

Nope, didn't know that at all. I own two dodges by default. I am actually a Ford man. I can tell you most of the body changes in the fords, what year it happened, etc. I worked at a transmission shop for a few years in the office. The van was one we fixed and the customer never paid for. My Stratus was almost free. Guy brought it in and didn't want to pay to fix it. I bought the car for $200 and the boss put a new trans in it. Anyway, So I guess I am outta luck with a 2000 body style matching a 01...? Would that be the case if mine is a 7/00 which is technically an 01? Should I ask the guy who has the van what month his 2000 is?

 

I'm leaning towards saying no way in hell but as I said, I'm not a body guy. Google "2000 Dodge caravan images" then google "2001 Dodge Caravan images" and compare.

 

Yeah, that's a good idea--thanks. I will see what I can find out.
