You may want to get the parts manuals for both years so you
can determine how many parts need removal before reaching
common parts. Would guess you are in for a huge project.

That being said if Neil Armstrong can walk on the moon YOU can
swap the nose on two vans.

The 97 and older vans have spot wielded fenders, Chrysler may have went to bolt on's in the 98 - 03 vans.
