Just picked up a 1997 K1500 Extended cab. Runs good, needs a little work, but most of the issues are cosmetic. My real question is in regards to replacement parts. I need the 3rd door, a corner piece from the cab, and a fender. The truck bed itself needs to be replaced, or I was thinking of building my own custom flat bed type of deal. I'll try and throw on a couple photos, but if anyone out there can give me suggestions on replacement parts or what model years had interchangeable parts (and are the easiest to find) I would GREATLY appreciate it.

 

LMC truck has an online parts inventory so you can see the part as you wonder what it is called and where it goes.

 

Great tip, and found almost everything, except the third door and new truck bed.

 

i know 95 and under didn't have a 3rd door but for the other body parts any 88-98 truck will work

 

for the door you may have to shop around junkyards and such. if you are in NE Pennsylvania they have a couple U Pull its.
