Chevy truck parts that will interchange?

Question

What parts from a 1988 chevy 4x4 will work on a 1996 chevy 4x4? Were stripping the 88 down and wondering what all to keep.

Answer 1

I'm a mechanic, I own a Chevy pick up, and that is a tough question even for me. The best thing to do is just keep the "88" and when you need a part, you'll have it. There are so many parts that will work, it is difficult to tell what to keep, and what not to keep. One way to look at it is; take all the parts that are likely to give trouble, and the ones that are the most expensive to purchase, and keep those. Example: The Radiator, engine, transmission, four wheel drive unit, drive shafts, master cylinder, brake booster, Exhaust system, rear end, battery, seat (if its better than the one you have), heater core, computer (if they are the same) any and all sensors, windows & cranks, and any sheet metal that you might could use. That about covers it. I would look at parts that get used a lot, and are likely to wear out as ones to consider keeping.
Glad I could help. Good Luck!!!
