Default Dakota's Parted Out: Best National Data Base?

Hey guys,
My apologies if this would fall under General Discussion, but I also felt it would serve well for repair information as well...

Now that time is catching up with us 3rd Gen'sters... what would you all say are some of the best National Data Base's or companies that handle Dakota's that are parted out...and would be able to ship cross country?

...or to go further, a way to access junk yards and such that normally wouldn't ship?

I only ask because I found a couple radio bezel's recently and as soon as I get a chance to go back I was gonna snag one for one of our fellow forum followers and wasn't sure if we already had something in place to help each other out with such scavenger hunts.

I'll see if I can find the name, but I bought a bumper cover on eBay from a company in Texas. Paid ONE PENNY for the cover and about $60 in shipping.

I'd like to know where you got your bumber cover from too.

Sometimes, this forum is the best place. I snagged bezels, a K&N CAI, spare headlights, efan conversion kit, leveling kit....etc. All very cheap. I wish I had taken the time to part mine out when I sold it, but I made the mistake of advertising it with all the mods.

Okay....seller name is rsautoparts2010. Their store is Roberts Street Autoparts. Now the piece I got was an auction on ebay and it appears most of their stuff now is a Buy It Now type sale. Parts are used but they so show pictures.

Hey Adam,
Sorry I haven't gotten back to ya. Last week or so was kinda hellish getting my truck fixed for a trip to DC and schools been no joke either, but I haven't forgotten obviously. Hoping to get down to the junk yard tomorrow, I'll let you know what I dig up.



I know there are some on-going threads like "Deals and Steals" and such...how would you Admins feel about an on-going thread not for individual parts like in the for sale section, but specifically for Daks being parted out with simple "point of contact info" and all inquiries are PM's only?
