Right...Mostly I'm just seein' if there might have been some truth to this mythical Dakota. I think pretty much everyone would agree it sounds like a great idea. Hell, just putting a 5-speed in an R/T would have made me buy one. Anyway, so far I haven't seen anyone come forward saying they've seen this truck, or heard of it, much less the actual owner. I guess my buddy that told me of this will have to check his story a little closer.

a 6-speed transmission option from Dodge in a Dak.
