Default Help with speaker replacement in first gen dakota?

Hey everybody,
I just bought a '93 Dakota regular cab, and I'm loving it. Only problem is the speakers are shot, so I'm looking to replace them. It looks like getting to the speakers behind the seats and in the door may be a bit more complicated than my last car, so I'm looking for some sort of info on how to get to them. Also, does anyone know what size speakers for certain are in the doors and rear? Thanks!

Thanks for the response! How sure are you on that 6.5s in the front door? I found a guide on Crutchfield that says it's 5 1/2s. I'm not sold on Crutchfield being right though, as I've seen conflicting sizes all over the net. If it is 5 1/2s, is there any way to make 6.5's fit? I've got a nice set of 6.5s on hand, so that'd be very handy! Thanks!
