Need help finding some parts!

- OEM body bushings? I don't want to replace them with poly ones, I want it to be a soft ride!
- The plastic covers that sits on top along the bedline;

It will be tough finding a place that will ship to Norway. In the US, all we can get new is the bumper.
for the body bushings, find a truck with bushings of similar size and use them. If they are a little bigger, they will still work just fine.
The covers over the side are part of the bedliner on my truck. Maybe you could try to find bedliner paint and also paint over the side?
The body mouldings are hard to find in good shape. Most dakotas in junk yards have the mouldings but they are very faded. If you have all the pieces, take them off and paint them.

Thanks for your reply!
I do have a US addressed courier to use if needed. I haven't found that style bumper yet(only in chrome). Do you know who will have it?
Yeah, painting it was my backup plan...
I have all pieces, but a couple of them is cracked. I don't mind buying used ones, because I will have them painted anyway. My problem is getting the parts.

Go on car-part.com. It is an online salvage site and you can literally get anything on there and all the places will ship to you. Very easy to use, but sometimes you have to call multiple listings before you find the place that has exactly what you need. The body bushings, just find a dakota on car-part.com, click on a yard, call them and ask them to take the bushings and whatever else you wanted off the salvage truck they have. They will do it and ship for probably like $150 for all that stuff if I had to guess.
Buying new bushings from the dealer is out of the question, I tried and they wanted $500 for all eight of them!

I've been agonizing (sort of) about this truck for a while. http://tucson.craigslist.org/pts/3933901071.html
Pretty much everything you need. I think.
