Default rolled 97 dakota 4x4 3.9 v6 ext cab

Son rolled his truck and killed it. He's Ok and we are parting it out. Most of the big stuff that survived, engine, tranny, bed, we have local interest in but if your looking for interior or dash parts, headlight switch, instr. cluster ( 147k on clock) weatherstippring, e-brake cables, hood latch cable and lever, rear glass quarters or something else shoot me a email. still have a good transfer case and driveshafts. they all have newer greasable u joints installed when we replaced the transfer case. not sure on condition of front axles or diff yet. if your near pittsburgh and want to come by that works too.
not much of the exterior survived the roll over

rear slider and steering column are sold, I'll post a list of additional parts that are available as we remove them

Damn! That thing is thrashed! I'm glad your Son is OK.
I wish I lived closer to pittsburgh, I'd really like to look through what's left.

Best of luck with parting it out.

smaller parts could ship in the USPS "if it fits it ships" boxes.

Amazingly she landed on her feet and once we attached the battery cable back up it fired right up. most of the damage was to passenger front tire area. control amrs shock , frame bent there and also buckled frame back behind cab where framerail bolts together.dents all over the front end and cab pushed down on driver side. bed only got crunched passenger corner by tail light. other 3 rims got road rash somehow.
He says it rolled at least twice.

Thanks guys, he's Ok....... just bummed. Spent alot of time on that truck. Seatbelt and airbags probably saved his life according to the fire crew and state boys who showed up that night.

We had put the hood emblem from my 2008 dak that I crushed the front end on. Hit a big oak tree square on the emblem but it was not even scratched We put it on his hood after we painted the 97. ( RE-badged??)

It popped off the backing but remained intact thru this wreck too.
When we went to the scene the next day it was sitting right at the pipe he hit in the ditch that flipped him over.
I picked it up and said it was lucky , Nick thinks it's cursed. I set it on the center of the dash of my 09 Ram. Looks good.....we'll see if it works.
