Some better pictures:



And yes, that is 'warp' on my box, caused by the right leaf spring somehow having been bent up.

 

 

 

 

 

i saw a dakota at work the other day with those nice red reflective letters on the back. any idea where i could find some of those?

 

93-down came with the raised DODGE lettering on the tailgate. I believe it may have been 91-93 that came stock with the reflective lettering on top. Since it is factory you can probably get it from most dealers or auto body suppliers.

 

Did any years have a completely flat tailgate without raised letters?

 

94-96 was flat with the 3rd brake light recessed into the top of the tailgate.

 

Oh maybe I was not looking close enough are you sure NONE of the 94-96 came with raised letters? I'm going to find one and shave the tail light then
