Fits Cheyenne '97

These parts are made in China to the correct sizes. They fit. Removing existing clamshell cups can be harder than you think. The self-tapping screws that hold the factory cups go into nifty little friction inserts that break off due to corrosion. Once that is the case, you will need a meat grinder. There's no way to get to the back and it won't work to heat. I had to grind off the heads of two screws. Get a coffee grinder with a good burr; wheel does not fit. Prime and paint the hinges a day before assembly. Hooking the nut to the top screw during assembly is also fun.
