That sounds about right. The only qualifications I might bring up would
be:
- The minor body style change from Gen I to Gen II actually occured with
the '91 model. The '91 has the "Gen II" style sheet metal but a premag
motor. So, does that make it a Gen I or a Gen II? :-) Personally,
I'd be inclined to call it a Gen II, since mostly when people are speaking
of "Gen this and that", they're thinking of a body style. I seem to recall
the '91 was also different than the other Gen II years in regards to the
steering system. ?
- Gen III - "completely different"; true if you're speaking of the body,
but the engines are the same as before. (Well, until 2000 and the
intro of the 4.7 of course.)
Hey, this reminds me; Mike, how's the Dakota timeline coming along? :-)
Has that been put on hold?
