That could be explained by the fact that in the early 90s, the Dak changed from the 5 lug to
the 6 lug wheel bolt pattern. Obviously the rep wasn't aware of the product they were selling
  - but its possible she thought the only Dak wheels they had were for the older trucks. There
have been times when I have discovered a part that I thought we couldn't get or didnt stock,
that we actually had. It can happen. But as for the guy who wouldn't sell barry tires that he
already had on his truck - well thats nuts.
