Default Body swap 96to99 on a 95 chassis?

While doing some off-roading I rolled my 95 Discovery on its side and have a lot of body damage. The front windshield busted, crushed the a pillar, rear quarter glass and quarter panel crushed in. My engine, drivetrain and suspension are in good shape and have been upgraded and redone. I'm going to do a body swap and need to know if the donor needs to be a 94 or 95 model year. Or can it be 96 through 99 as well?

It would be easier to take the good mechanical bits and flip to a donor 94/95. You'd be rewiring a later truck to fit the 95's engine, not so simple. Also some parts are not direct fit between the years although the 96 being a crossover year shared some parts with the earlier trucks. Paul Grant would know way more than I about physical nuance differences.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the confirmation
