I just picked up a 1997 Dakota Sport 4x4 as my new project. The truck is pretty much a base model but I was hoping someone would know of a site that I can use the VIN to get a list of everything the truck came with when purchased.

 

Welcome aboard, capelas25! You are in luck...

Go here: http://www-5.dodge.com/wccsapp/universal/D/index.jsp?appStr=wccs&titleStr=Contact+Dodge&a mp;familyStr=brand&franchise=D&actionURL=% 2Fwccs%2Fbrand_forms%2Fus%2Fwebform.jsp&promot ion=null&category=R , and request the build sheet for your Dak.
pitkanen44flyers gave out this link awhile back, I used it, and got my build sheet e-mailed to me the next day. Now I don't have to ask what I have.
Cheers.
