I have been looking for a after market door skin for mine for a while with no luck. I have seen a few bedsides, cab corners and rocker panels on ebay but not very often. _____________________________ 98 Dakota Sport extended cab 4x4 5.2L/auto- green 150k+miles and counting...

I can cut it off for you. the bed sides can be replaced, but nobody makes them, you'd need to cut it off a junker, my bed is too far damageed to be repaired _____________________________ quote: ORIGINAL: spenca15 Sometimes you gotta look ahead, not at whats right in front of you (in reply to 300exoh) Post #: 4
