early or late?
EDIT: I appreciate the help, but I found the answer.
I know this has already been posted but what are dates between an early and a late 99'. I am ordering a part and they asked if I have a 99.5 or an early 99.

with all the 99's its always best to know the build date on the driver side door post...there is a lot of diffs..early 99 has 3 different front ends.. rear brakes i think are differnt to..on mine any way..the caliper works on both side of the truck......

Yep, I know, Mine is a March something 99 build date and I still have to measure everything to make sure I get the right part. I order 3 sets of sway bar bushing before getting the correct one, all because I didn't measure the bar. At least a the dealer, I can use the VIN.

Ok thanks. Just curious. You know I went to the dump the other day, and my truck weighed in at 8,700 lbs!!! I didn't have much in my truck other than some scrap carpet, and a few bags of broken tile...couldn't have been more than 5-600 lbs worth of stuff.
Why is my truck so heavy? I've seen duallys on here that don't tip 8,000 lbs.
