Yes, the buckets were from a Dakota, a 1993 at that. The console is from the
same vehicle but I am going to order a Tuffy Series II Steel Console, like
the one shown here:

Yes, I will only buy the parts which come with a lifetime warranty, like
Moog and Perfect Circle(Dana). I justed replaced the idler arm and pitman
arm and used Dana parts, they fit great and werent that expensive. Do I have
to REMOVE the lower control arm, like it states in the manual?....... I
really hope not!!!!
