This truck has been in our family for 8 years. My grandpa purchased the truck from Salina, KS, drove it back to Grand Island, NE. She was already in great condition, but we did some little things to spruce her up like a new tailgate (paint matches perfect), new bumper (they're always beat up on these), and a few other things listed below.Because of gramps' health and myprevioustruck being t-boned, I bought this from him and have owned for almost 2 years in Kearney, NE. Gramps won many awards at shows for this, it has been my daily driver. Mileage will go up as I drive this daily.
Reason for selling: I have driven a mid 90's Dakota of some sort for the past 12 years and am ready for something different and likely newer (owned a 95 Dakota before this).

Truck runs out great, starts, shifts and stops good, is a general pleasure to drive. Everything works. There is a small clunk that can be heard from the rear end sometimes if accelerating hard, seems to be common with the 9.25 rear end. Spot of peeling clear coat on the roof (shown in photos, the little spots are water spots from car wash). Truck is 22 years old, so it obviously has some scratches and dings here and there but nothing major. NO RUST AND NO RUST REPAIR EVER NECESSARY rare for a midwest truck.
A lot of folks come up to me and ask me about it, it receives many compliments. I've been pulled over just because the cop wanted to ask me how I kept this Dakota so clean...I have tried to keep it as good looking as gramps did. Always garaged.
