    Looking to buy 1996-2003 379

    BUUUUTTT

    I would hate to buy a 97 or 98 only to find out later that a 99 or 2000 model was the year that something that was a previous design had been changed and made better --- then i would be bummed that i didnt look for that year instead.


    So does anyone know what changes (if any) were done in these years (1996-2003)
    things like:

    - any body /hood changes / lights etc

    - different gauge design or dash layout etc

    - different seats or sleeper storage areas etc

    - what years did the side sleeper door get replaced with the storage access door and window

    - were there any suspension , air bag, springs etc redesigned or modified

    - any other particular things that might want to make a guy look at 2000-2003 vs 1996- 1998


    Feel free PM me if you (or someone you know) have one you are selling




    Thanks
