Default 2006 Dakota RT Body Panel Help!

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, I saw a post of FBMP and it has an rt Dakota for about 1k with 122k miles that was wrecked the driver-side panels are just smashed but the body structure is fine. The question I wanted to ask was what panels are compatible with these trucks? I have never really worked with a Dakota before and thought this would be an interesting project to take up just getting some panels to replace and getting them matched. If anyone got some info they wanna put forwards about either taking up the project or avoiding it that would be great. As well as any places to buy replacement panels they know of. Thanks!

This is the trucks status

Someone might correct me if I get this wrong, but...

Front panel: same panel from 05-07
rear panel: same panel from 05-11
door: same from 05-11

Looks like you also need a front bumper: same for 05-07 (I think there was a slight change in 08)

...and a rear bumper: same for 05-11

You are correct.

Hope you don't need the hood, those RT hoods are rarer than hens teeth.

It's probably easier to get a whole bed for the rear. Both tires took a hit, at least the front for sure, be sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
