Any difference in Blazer and Bravada?

I own a 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada. I have a horrible time finding accessories for it, but I have been told that everything from a 1997 Blazer will fit the Olds.
Anyone know if this is 100% correct or not? If it matters, accessories Im looking for include:
wood dash trim kit
chrome door handles (anyone know where to find them?"
Billet heater/ac knobs (again, any suggestions?)

As always, thanks for any and all help.

Actually the Bravada has a full time all wheel drive transfer case, the Blazer has a part time 2wd/4wd set up.

So, if I cant find accessories for a 1997 bravada, I should just look for things for a 1997 Blazer?
Thanks, as always this forum has helped me out quite a bit.

As stated above, 95-current bravada, blazer, jimmy are all the same for the body styling, headlights/grille and door panels/dash changed in 98 (steering wheel changed in 99) Engines are the same from 96-current (no 95 bravada that I'm aware of). So yes, for accessories Jimmy or Blazer compatibility will be fine.

How about frame wise? Im looking at a set of nerf bars, I looked up the specs on both vehicles, the length is the same, wheelbase is the same, etc.

Identical. "Generic Motors" doesn't change much of anything if they can avoid it.

I have a 99 Bravada, and have ordered parts for a 98 Blazer or 99 Blazer at times, since for some reason parts are sometimes cheaper for a Blazer than a Bravada. Probably figure that since Bravada's cost more new, that they can gouge more for parts later.
