Hi everyone first post here,
I just bought a 1998 Dakota 5.2 V8 ext cab 4x4. It was hit in the front and sustained minor/fair damage. I need to replace the hood, driver side fender, and bumper. My question is, does Durango have these same body panels as a Dakota? From what I can tell by looking at a Durango, they look the same. But I have to be sure. Also are there any differences from year to year.
Tommorow I am going to look at a ' 97 Dakota hood, and the same place has a 2000 Durango hood ( same color as my Dakota ). Do either of these have any slight differences from a ' 98 Dakota hood?

Welcome. The hood and the fenders will be the same. I think the bumper will work as long as you get a pre 01 bumper. In 01 they were switched to a "one piece" bumper. I'd get the hood that's the same color, as long as it's in good shape so you don't have to mess around with painting it. Good luck.
