RE: Zimmer Dakota?
ive seen those addons a couple times for the duelly, even seen one on ebay on the convertible. what i remember is that it was a kit you could buy unlike the 89 to 91 convertibles and the stepsides that dodge had done by a third party, i think the convertibles were all put on thru asc (american sunroof company)but were commissioned by dodge as a limitedd edition, they were not aftermarkets.
