Sorry Guys but im still working on the interior and its starting to get a little worn out but when racing season ends then i'll have some extra dough to start working on the inside. I have done work on this Dakota all on my own and i think she has come out quite nice. There are some guys in here that have gave me some good ideas and advice and my hats off to them and really appreciate all of their comments and encite. If I ever get this ole bucket of a Dakota done (hehehehehe) which seems like a never ending story.Yesterday i had to have the winsheild replaced and about 2 months ago someone decided they wanted my Stereo more than i did. The inside Mods are gonna be minimal would like to find a set of buckets from a GenII with brackets and make a custom console and I plan on installing a custom made dash with Autometer gauges,also the carpet is starting to show signs of age this Dakota is 12years old in December and i have owned her since day one. I decided to keep her for a long time. Well enough rambling on YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST keep up the good work. REMEMBER DODGE IS AN ATTITUDE not just a Truck

Sharp truck. Although Gen 1's might not be the sportiest looking, they're the only ones that were available in convertible form. I've got an '89 Sport conv't which is getting there as I've been restoring it in stages. The interior, roll pan, and custom fibreglass bed cover are this winter's project. What brand is your roll pan? Was it bolt on? How was the fit & finish on it.

god damn old a$$ posts bein revived.

my thoughts on this. DON'T BUY V6 DAKOTAS!! WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!! I COULD HAVE HAD A DECENT CAR OR TRUCK WITH GOOD POWER BUT I HAD TO GO FOR LOOKS(WHICH NOT EVERYONE THINKS ARE THAT GREAT). NOW IM STUCK DRIVING A FREAKIN SENTRA AND THE SICK PART OF THAT IS THAT I LOVE IT BECAUSE THE V6 WAS SO HORRIBLE. IF I HAD GOTTEN A V8 I'D STILL BE ON THIS BOARD.

BOTTOM LINE:
THE MAGNUM 3.9 V6 IS ONE OF THE THREE WORST ENGINES YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET IN A NEW CAR/TRUCK. THE OTHERS BEING THE S10s 4.3 AND THE MUSTANGS 3.8. 3.0+ LITERS SHOULD BE PUTTING OUT AT LEAST 200HP. AND 5.9 SHOULD PUT OUT OVER 350. CRAP CRAP CRAP. DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT V6S...U DESERVE THEM CUZ YOU WERE DUMB LIKE ME, BUT NEVER SAY YOU ARE GLAD U GOT A 3.9 RATHER THAN A 4.7 BECAUSE THAT IS JUST STUPID.
