fu(k went to the 'yard yesterday, (in the rain no less)
they had 1 green 98 dak, no more 2nd gens, and it was waay in the back
as i was walking up, it looked decent, until i saw the rust, was already through the steel right above the wheelwell, ( i have never seen it there)
then i walked around and noticed why it came with the tailgate, the corner was so crushed you couldnt get it off. and there was also rust above that wheel well, from the inside,

its much worse off than mine.
for 170

and the truck had NOTHING else i needed, bummer

so i called the place that i avoided for their high prices
they had 1 green 98 dak, he asked me to make an offer since i've seen the truck, i said $200
deal
so tomorrow i go pay them, and i'll be picking it up on wednesday, they will take the new one off and take my old one for scrap.
so you'll be seeing a how to install a bed how-to soon!

Its really not a hard job to remove and replace one. Just be careful of fuel lines and such.

On mine, it's just6 bolts and it's out. Be sure to measure the cab-to-bed clearance before-hand, so you can get that the same with the new bed.

Edit: 'Scuse me, it's 8 bolts.
