Especially in 20 years when the parts are harder to come by.

They order an 05 part from e-bay, only to find out when they get it that the one they bought will not work. So now they are out the cost + shipping. I'd be pissed.

well that makes alot of sence about the fillerneck but out of sure curiosity what exctally is the fillerneck, like i have a faint ideal about what it is but can yall go ahead and explane it

If you want to know fore sure what year your truck is, look at the 10th position of the VIN.

V = 1997
W = 1998

I wouldn't rely on whether the exhaust exits in front or behind the right rear tire.
How many 1997 models are still running a stock exhaust?
That exhaust could be nearly 10 years old by now.

Stock here! And I'll make the next one to dump out in the same place. Real handy when we back up to rock/mulch piles.

There's another significant change between 97 and 98 model years, the coloration of tint on the rear windows. In 97, they were a bronze tint, and in 98, they changed it to a black tint.
