**fixing up exterior on my 07dakota need help identifyng/locating parts please :)
Hey all
had lots of help from you all in the past.
now just kinda checking back in.
I own a 2007 Dodge Dakota v8 4.7 SLT crew/quad cab (maybe someone can tell me how to get the exact make and model of my truck i seem to have confusion )
I am need of some parts,
I live in Canada so finding the parts on the internet have been a problem because not alot of places ship here.
I went to a autowrecker today lookinG for some parts
only thing i could find that i needed was a rear passenger door. from a 2006 Dodge Dakota. Im hoping that it will fit? **help someone****the old one is mangled so it needs to be replaced, The wrecker wants 500$ I would like to know if this is too much?and if i should keep looking.
the other part i need is a inner bumper bracket. i found a site online that ships to canada.thepart is only 100 taxes in same price online everywhere i looked. but shipping is 400$!!
so any suggestions? maybe keep lookin for at salvage yards? what i need help with here is someone to tell me if the part i found online should fit my dakota - the models they list they are calling the dakotas SOHC DOHC and OHV ,THIS IS THE LINK TO THE BRACKET *WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TELL ME IF THIS WILL BE COMPATIBLE *THE FRONT SUPPORT BRACKET* ( https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,c...ting%2BBracket )
other thing i nneed to do with my dakota is get a big dent out of mydriver side quarter panel..i dont think it can be replaced. but ill post a pic let me know what your thoughts are...
THANKS

The Dakota only came with a few base options, So you have most of it right, Most people call it a Quad Cab, But there is only the one 4 Door Option (IE no Crew Cab or Mega Cab like Rams have) and the other type is the Club Cab
The Rear door should fit off any 2005+ Dakota Quad Cab
For Taillights, youd be better off buying one or a Set on Ebay.
The 2 you have posted, One Comes with the Bulb Sockets and Bulbs, The other is just the Taillight Housing.
Rockauto is charging you $400 shipping on the Bumper Bracket, Simple because its a big part to ship. I had them ship my a Lower and Upper Radiator Support Which wasnt to much (I live in Canada to)
The Dent should be fixable with a Body shop without issue. The Bedside can be replaced but todo so. You need to grind the paint off areas of the box to reveal Spot Welds, Then you have to drill each one out. Put new panel on and Re-spot Weld.
It cost me around $900 to repair a small dent and straighten some metal and Repaint the entire bedside on my truck
