Some info for the 1987 version Trucks, I pulled the tag off the bottom side of my hood tonight, which I guess is a Dakota equivalent of a fender tag and here is what it reads. I guess we can all assume that this is how all of the trucks are optioned:
Code No. Description
BGA Power Disk Brakes
BJA STD Duty front disk brakes
BKA 10 x 2 1/2 rear brake
DGA STD Duty Auto Trans
DGG (illegible) /A999 Auto Trans
DHA Lock Up Torque Converter
DMD 3.(illegible) Axle Ratio (for the time I'm going to assume this is 3.90:1)
DRA Chry - 8.25 Axle
GK9B11 delete Air dam IND1 500
KRPF71 delete fender nameplate (not done on my or any other Indy truck i've seen)
NDA Catylatic Converter
ZTTA32 Transportation - Creative (maybe the people who did the conversion???)

 

I spotted one of these Inday Pace Trucks in a yard today in SE Michigan. I got curious about it and after a quick Google search, I ended up here.

Doesnt seem to be all that special though, just a decal. Or are there any valuable pieces that should be salvaged? The light bar seemed in particularly good shape

 

If it's an 87 (like the ones shown in this thread) I believe that they have a numbered dash plaque. Do you have any pictures of the truck you found?

Edit: Also the light switch to the lightbar would probably be a good snag as well if the truck is really shot.

 

heck, save the whole truck, body panels are easily replaced. I've never seen a whole frame rust out. I'll buy it if they don't want a ******** and a half for it. I'm somewhat close anyways lol

 

I have freind that has a Dodge dakota indy 500 pace truck short bed. Is intrested in selling it but did not know what the value would be. it has been sitting in storage for the past 11 years. is in very good shape. just needs a good bath. He is the 1 st onwer and has all the paper work for it. if any one wouls have any info it would be great . thanks

 

I really don't know what the Indys are worth but they are still Dakotas in the end.

 

like my dad said. "i talked to a guy that that saw the tail end of one that his uncles grand son, chased but couldnt chase, who knew a guy that all must bought one."

 

Hi do you still have info on this Indy 500 Truck.
I know a Dodge Truck Collector looking for a nice Indy 500 Dakota.
