So i was in a accident recently and the front end was taken out as well as the driverside fender. I'm looking to repair the truck and i'm wondering what year of fender i can use. Am i limited to a 97 GMC part or can I use a s10/blazer/sonoma fender?

 

There are a lot of possibilities here. A Blazer fender is the same as a truck fender and were the same for several years.
Try this website for used stuff. You might get lucky like I did and found a fender just down the road that I don't even have to paint or put any trim on. It was exactly the same as mine. You can select different parts of the country. It will also automatically give you the years that'll fit too.

Thanks for the response. Ended up picking up one from a partout on kijiji. $40 can't beat it. Now just need a hood, bumper and grill...
