are the 96 and 97 front frames the same? fisher plow setup?

Hey guys...

my brother's truck is a 97...he's not going to be using the plow mounts, and i need them for my 96...are the frames the same? it seems the fisher website shows some sort of difference...it seems insignificant though...then again...their directions are a bit confusing; as they group 1500, 2500, 3500 together in one set of directions, then totally seperate in others...

thanks for any/all help

2wd frame is similar but not identical to 4wd frame because of suspension components.

It seems that there are slight differences in the 96 and 97 frames...such as more support for the shock towers in the 97... i thought that was interesting..

thanks for the help guys...the plow plates are the same..
