First, build a time machine ...

Yah, the last company making them, the dies wore out and they didn't see any reason to make more.

If you go to Raybuck.COM and leave a message on 1987-1996 Dodge Dakota Beltline Seals (Outer) (raybuck.com) you may be notified if they come back.

In the meantime, some of us are measuring and checking sites like Steele Rubber, to see if there's a generic we can glue to a stripped old seal to make something usable.

LMC doesn't have anything specific to the 1st Gens.

So no, they never were able to get them.

You don't have coil springs. You have torsion bars. Think of a coil spring straightened out. Then bend it at a 90 degree angle. The bar goes into the frame under your feet. The bend goes out to the lower control arm. Chrysler started using this setup around 1960.

Δεν έχετε σπειροειδή ελατήρια. Έχετε ράβδους στρέψης. Σκεφτείτε ένα πηνίο άνοιξη ισιώσει έξω. Στη συνέχεια, λυγίστε το σε γωνία 90 μοιρών. Το μπαρ πηγαίνει στο πλαίσιο κάτω από τα πόδια σας. Η κάμψη βγαίνει στον κάτω βραχίονα ελέγχου. Η Chrysler άρχισε να χρησιμοποιεί αυτή τη ρύθμιση γύρω στο 1960.

I assume you can buy online. If so here is the FSM on CD $36.29US I used the 1995 service manual from the FAQ section for my 94 for years before I finally bought one for the 94.
