Default 95 b2500 will donor parts from a b1500...will it fit? Help!!

Hello recently acquired a 95 b2500 for free but it needs a few things to make it safe and reliable. My van needs control arms, radiator, drivers door, one barn door, and a bumper. Recently found 2002 b1500 with a blown piston for 750 everything else is in pristine condition. I came here to figure out if I should jump on this parts vehicle or leave it be. Please help!

Some of the parts might be interchangeable but IMO not enough to make the deal worthwhile.

Is the "parts vehicle" in a lot better shape? could always keep it and put the engine from yours into it...

Would you have any idea if the doors from the 02 would fit on the 95 b2500. I doubt the bumper fits. Thank you !

Go to some place like LMC truck, and look up door shells for both year trucks. If they have the same number, they will interchange. If they don't, they likely won't.
