Default Hi all,.. Been a while since I last posted on here,..

I moved to a new house. Lots of changes.
Finally got my puter hook-up!
Anyways, 4 weeks into the new home, my Dakota was parked up by the house & some neighborhood punks set
my interior on fire with some charcoal fluid! Shut the door and the flame finally went out. But, not before it took out
almost most of the inside. (Cops are investgating it).
The dash is fine, (some of the vents slightly melted), overhead console is toast along with the headliner.
Seats front and back are gone along with seat-belts and rear side panels. Door panels are ok. The carpet is ok.
I guess when I get the time to strip it all out I'll probably find more.
ANYWAYS,.. Can anyone help hook me up with interior parts for a "99 black & gray exrended cab?? Please??
I've called around to local wrecking yards and they have told me nothing now.
Don't have a lot of money but a odd part here & there would really help!
I'd like to get it back up running again before winter gets here.
Thanks.
(I'll post a few pics soon).

No. it's not cool at all.
Believe it or not the neighborhood is nice & quite.
It's just a couple of high school kids in the area.
I AM really ticked about it and, would set THEM on fire if
I would of caught them.
This truck is perfect in every way for being as old as it is.
So,.. I'm fixing it. As I said, I'll get some shots up before and after when I get the chance.
But, Keep your eyes open for me! Thanks!

that sucks man. i wish i would have known about it a few weeks ago cause my friens totalled his 98 dakota with black interior and was parting it out. its gone now. im sure he would have hooked u up with seats and stuff. **** like that just makes me really appreciate the respect my neighbors have for everybody in this neighborhood.

Oh man, that is ****ing LAME! Those kids deserve to get run over by your truck, multiple times, and then lit on fire. Little punk pieces of ****.

Did insurance cover the damage at all? It may very well be a totaled vehicle now

In other news, I guess the seat color doesn't matter since you'll be replacing it all.anyways. Call up some local junk yards and look for any totaled 2nd gen dakota's. Also, when calling them up, ask if there is a junk yard network. Here on the west coast, there is LKQ auto parts. They network all the junk yards accross the coast together, and they all work together to share parts. It's a pretty cool concept and makes finding parts or tottalled vehicles a breeze.

You may also try looking at durango interiors, from the front seats up it is all the same.
