Ok, here is what the newest Crutchfield says:
97 Dakota club cab: 6.5S* front 6.5S* rear
97 Dakota Standard 6.5S* front 5.25 rear (bottom mount)
Basically the 6.5S is just slightly larger and has alot of screw
holes to match existing
factory screw holes.
There is 5 7/16" mounting space behind the front speakers and 4"
behind the rear speakers. And I have found that Crutchfield is
usually about a 1/2" off in their measurements. That can make a big
difference when you find that your window won't roll
all the way down because it is hitting on your new speaker.
The 96 and older Daks had 5.25" in the front and 5x7" in the
rear. I hope this helps in any way.
