Billy W gave me a great deal on one. My 94 will be respectable looking again soon!
Since I never really intro'ed:
I bought a 93 Dakota V6 5 speed new in 93. Loved that truck, but the family was growing so I traded it only a year and a half later for an F350 CC DRW that would carry a camper. Never got over selling the Dakota.
Since then, I downsized and upsized (I don't usually keep cars long...). I ended up needing another truck that could tow and still remembered my Dakota. Last year, I bought my replacement.
94 Club Cab 2wd. Had 31k miles on it, now has 39K. White/grey two tone, grey inside. V8, auto, pretty much loaded. Limited Slip rear end, towing and hauling package. White cab high shell.
An older gentleman had it since new, garage, and never used it since it was his tow vehicle and he didn't tow often.
Since then, I removed the red pinstripping and upgraded the stereo with a CD player and new speakers. Amp and sub will be added later. Also added a real wood dash kit (though I'm not usually a big fan) to cover the fake dash wood. I normally wouldn't have put the wood on, but the price of the NOS item was right on EvilBay.
Now if gas was less then $2.15 a gallon here in So. Cal, I could really enjoy it... :-)
Have a s-load of other cars right now, one for each purpose. The Dakota helps with work (computer consultant) when I need to do installs, and also pulls the track car around.
Thank you all for the bumper input on the other thread.
