Question
I have a 1991 Isuzu Rodeo, and I want to buy a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo to use for parts.  Will the body parts and/or the engine parts interchange ?

Answer
    Probably, but running changes are made as the years go by.  The only way to be certain is to locate the stamping on the part in question which has the part number, and compare it to the same on yours.  Sometimes you can use a part that is not an exact match if you change the other parts in the subassembly, such as fenders and grille, or bumper and valance.  I don't have access to the information you really need, and even a salvage yard's Hollander interchange might be suspect as body men tend not to be to picky about fit if the price is right.  I would inquire at the dealer (but if you can get the part numbers from the old parts it would be a great help).
