Other than that, aren't the drivetrains and other things common?

I can get a running 95 for $500 so I am thinking why not?

for 5 bills u really cant go wrong its worth it to part it out even if it is not a good truck i would say pull the trigger and if not give me his number and i will

The difference between the '95 & '97 is the motor and the front seats. The '95 is actually also fuel injected, and uses more common gm ac/delco parts in it's engine management system (meaning you can get gm equivalents for dirt cheap). Everything else is the same, so if you've got a lead on a '95 for $500 - then it's impossible to go wrong. At worst, that's a full parts truck for less than a set of golf clubs. You could have yanked the starter and alternator out of that one and it would have basically made the truck free. At best, you can use one as your on road rig, and the other as your off road rig-& and have a backup vehicle for troubleshooting a myriad of issues. Just remove the suspected part from one to test on the other before buying parts. If you've got the parking space then head over and pick that baby up before he changes his mind!

He also has another 95 parts truck minus the engine and front diff. Ne's out of town for a week or so.

As far as golf clubs go, I started buying vintage and classic forged iron sets as well as wooden drivers and brass headed Bullseye Putters. I got most sets for $10 to $20 plus shipping on EBay. Two sets were Sam Snead Blue Ridge by Wilson, one numbered set of MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear Commemoratives and a numbered set of Rawling Lee Trevino MVP's commemorating Lee winning the US Open twice and being on Life magazine as MVP of the Year 1970. Other than my new Muzuno's, I got all of them under $50.00

As soon as my buddy returns, I hope to add both his 95's to my Discovery collection. They make a great golf trip wagon.
