I just purchased my first Dakota RT. It’s a 2000 in blue. The truck runs and drives very good, except for the steering shaft is bad. I need a replacement suggestion. The truck is completely rotted, bed, fenders, radiator support, and cab corners. I found a rustfree bed that was an hour away for $350, with a rustfree tailgate. And got all new replacement body panels. Hoping to be on the road by July.
