if im not mistaken, this is the way the bumper you are talking about should look exactly. this is my 01 dak

Im pretty sure they will all look like that except R/T's wont have the gray part at all or the black parts, it'll just be a flat color. Sports wont have chrome either, just the gray part and the chrome part is painted black... at least im pretty sure. I would sell you my bumper and buy a rollpan but im having second thoughts on a rollpan.... I wanna be able to smash into something and save the rest of my truck.

look around and post on the wanted sections here and on other forums...i did that and the next day i was driving to Maryland to pick up a new bumper for $100 and i just made a deal with my painter friend today...I'm giving him my 12's and sub box and installing it for him and he's painting my bumper for free so i spent $100 on a bumper, $5 for a toll and like $10 gas take that away from the $1015 i got for the wreck and i made $900

Default Newbie Needs New Rear Bumper

LoudPedal, I've got the solution!!!! You sell your rear bumper to Wink because it matches his truck perfectly and then Wink can sell me his bumper which matches my truck perfectly. Good Solution?????

P.S. Is there any other Dodge vehicle who's bumper is the same as mine? I'm assuming not but had to ask.

lol, thats a good idea but i dont really want loudpedal's bumper. I think your best bet is to keep looking on ebay once and a while. of course you could always order an OEM replacement if you can spare the cash. As far as other vehicles, im pretty sure the dakota has a unique bumper and no other vehicle has the same one.
