1st gen Dakota with a red interior?
Ive been looking for interior parts.. been to 5 junkyards and all ive found are Daks with grey interior. Also asked around, and nobody else seems to have red.
Am I alone here?

Nope, you're not alone. I have that vomit inducing red interior also. I intend to remedy that however, I have the red vinyl, plastic and carpet with tan headliner and visors. I have replaced the headliner with Black headliner material and my wife is recovering the visors in black material to match. As for the red, I picked up some DuPont vinyl/plastic spay paint and I am going to paint it all black. Finally the carpet with get replaced as well. I try to post pics as I get stuff done but that won't be anytime in the near future.

It is the opposite here. All I can find is the red interior at my junkyards. I have Grey. I had to replace my seat belt buckle the other week and It took me forever to find something that will work.

Thanks for the replies.
Well, I wouldnt call the interior vomit inducing, but then i dont have a tan headliner.. that sounds horrible.
Crazy4X4RT... what part of the country are you in? If its anywhere near SC I might stop by there
