Right. Stupid people are the one that don´t ask questions. Like guys (I´ve
been guilty many times) not asking directions.

The Dakota is an N-body, but they´re the auto industry´s way of sorting out
projects.
They carry over into the parts business, since many parts from the dealer will
be unique to a chassis design. Back when the Dak was on the drawing board, the
chassis design was started years before the body style was settled. The newer
projects are all on computer, which helps compress the time scale considerably.
