New to group - resurection & upgrading wife's 2003 quad cab
Howdy All;
we have been slowly rebuilding/resurecting/upgrading
the wife's 2003 Dakota SLT Quad Cab.
new:
t-stat
hoses
waterpump
radiator
serpitine belt
4 new shocks
hubs
upper & lower control arms
tie rod ends
front pads
swaybar end links
headlight assemblies
fog lamps (smoked)
4 new cheapie speakers (all budget could afford)
front end alignment
oil pressure sending unit
wiper blades
picked up @ u-pull it yesterday (Saturday)
a pair of Dark Grey leather multi function power seats w/ heat - both sides are power seats
the leather is in very nice shape - put conditioner/rejuvinator on it last night - they cleaned up very nice - these seats have the Ram logo sewn into the headrests - came out of a Durango - ($60) for the pair :-)
I have an idea -
need to redo wife's headliner - thinking about pulling a headliner from a durango that has the booster fans & vents & having the hvac booster system installed in her quad cab for our teenage kids to stay cool in our Az summer heat
I would have to find a competant upholstery shop here in Phoenix, who could do the work -
Cindy's truck is red
2003 w/ 130,000 miles
4.7ltr / automatic / 2wd
stuff still to repair -
rear spring shackles
rear bumper
motor mounts/tranny mounts
would like to install a powerslider rear window, trailer hitch & wiring, rear seats recovered in matching leather, different door panels, sound proof door panels, better stereo system,.....
the list go on,......

Very nice seats! I'd swap too, if I ever come across those. About the headliner, I swapped mine too, with a nice non-sagging unit from a junkyard dakota. In order to get that thing in, I had to remove front and rear seats, including the rear back rests. So if you can find a non-sagging headliner, I'd do that when swapping the seats. Just be careful that the roof console cutout is the same size, if you get one from the junkyard.
