Crashed Dakota, Need help (PICS)

neeless to say, you're gonna need to get a new bumper mount from the junkyard, and beat the living ..... out of that frame rail to make the mount go on and sit where it's supposed to. Other than that, looks like my truck did there for awhile..LOL....you'll be on the road in no time.
So no conclusive answer as to why the cab is tweaked sideways on the frame?

you'll have to properly do the R134a thing if you try to replace the lines. If they are not pinched too badly, call it good. If it's almost a complete pinch, better off having a shop vacuum the system down and replace the tubing.

Sounds like you did ACES on finding parts. Well done. If you can find that fender in a junk yard, do that. Pattern parts don't necessarily fit too well.

Dont worry about the airbags if the trucks batt is unhooked you will be fine. If its not just unhook it and let the system drain for 15-30min. They say turning the key to the start position after the batt is unhooked will drain the system. Driver side airbag is easy but not sure about the passenger side tho. I think you have to pull the trim off around it and unscrew the airbag.

air bags are easy. unhook the ground from the batt. the passangers is in the dash its part of it you will have to drill rivits out after taking the dash cover off. the drivers has a blast cap. that looks like a 1/2 in thich metel coffee saucer theres a single connector in the wheel. the actual air bag is the center cover for the steering wheel.
