Can you interchange a 97 Chevy blazer with 2000 blazer?

You can interchange *some* parts between a 1997 and a 2000 Chevy Blazer, but it's not a simple yes or no answer. The extent of interchangeability depends heavily on the specific part.

Factors affecting interchangeability:

* Body style: Assuming both are the same body style (e.g., both are 2-door or both are 4-door), this is a big plus.

* Engine: Engines are a major consideration. If they have different engines, many parts won't be compatible (intake manifolds, exhaust systems, etc.).

* Transmission: Similar to engines, different transmissions will have incompatible parts.

* Specific part: Some parts are more likely to be interchangeable than others. For example, some interior trim pieces might be swappable, while major mechanical components like the suspension or steering systems might not be.

* Options: Features like power options (windows, locks, seats) can influence part compatibility.

In short: While some smaller, less critical parts might be interchangeable, it's best to check part numbers and compatibility before assuming anything. Using a parts catalog that specifies the year, make, and model of both vehicles is essential. Even then, some minor modifications might be needed for a perfect fit. You'll want to confirm with a parts specialist or mechanic to avoid potential problems.
