Will the front clip from a 97+ fit on my 96? Is the only differnece the side marker light?

there were two threads on this last night

 

[mcraindog]

searched and found nothing, if you already know the answer then could you please tell me...typing isn't hard

 

[mcraindog]

ok nevermind...kept searching and finally found it...never got a real sure answer though of if it fits perfectly? only difference i found was that there are two bulbs in a part instead of one...so i guess what im asking is will it bolt straight on there without having to cut anything or trim anything?

 

[hot_rod_hooligans]

easy answer would probably be no, not a strait bolt on

 

[Blaine B.]

I believe it will...

Although you'll have to replace your fenders with 97+ fenders to match the contours of the updated front end.

You beat me to it.

Common sense tells me that it's not a direct bolt-on.

Common sense would tell me if you read the links we posted you would know that it is pretty much a bolt on swap.
