Question
I am buying a 1996 dodge caravan for parts.I have a 1997 plymouth grand voyager. Will the body parts swap out?(front rear bumper,etc.

Answer
LOUIS....THE EASIEST WAY TO FIND OUT IS TO CALL A BODY SHOP AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE ESTIMATING DATABASE TO SEE WHAT THE YEARS ARE. FOR EXAMPLE THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THAT 95-99 CARAVAN PARTS WILL DO THE TRICK...I DON'T KNOW.

THE OTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO CALL YOUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND HAVE THE PARTS DEPT CHECK TO SEE IF A FRONT BUMPER,GRILLE AND HEADLAMPS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN 96 AND 97 MODEL YEARS.

GOOD LUCK
