Default 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport Flares

Hey everyone!
Just bought me a project Dakota, have most of the parts but am looking for the
"Pocket style or Cut-Out Style Buchwacker Fender FLares. Do they not make them for this truck?

Can one be fitted with some work?

I don't think they make these for 2nd Gens... I've never seen one with them anyway, and they're not listed on the Bushwacker site...

I kinda like the stock flares they look pretty good for being stock. Depends if you want the tires sticking out.

I have the street flares on mine. the look very good but we ended up getting better sheetmetal screws to install them. the ones that came with the kit were a little short.

Is it possible to fit one from a Ram 1500?
might be a little work but, is it realistic?

Wheel wells are different, if your really good with fab/body work skills its possible but really time consuming.

Wow you guys have all the answers, thanks for your help!
So then, what truck has the closest wheel well layout as our truck?
I do body work and am willing to give it a shot!
