97 nose and bed on an 04?

[Das_Brute]

I found a cheap parts truck for 400$ but have an 04 and was wondering if all of it would still fit because it looks pretty close even tho I haven’t seen them side by side.

Bed will fit. Front end parts can be used, but will not be bolt on. It would require a whole front end swap.

Well that’s what my truck needs is the whole front end but was gonna order a brand new radiator support so do I need to get the older generation one now? I want the stepside bed that truck comes with but if the front end is gonna be a PITA then I’ll fine the parts I need off an 01+

I do not know specifically about the core support on that generation gap.
