Hi All!
Just have a few questions to ask. I found a 1987 Dakota 4x4 in the want
ads today. I'm looking into it intensely, but want to know a few things
first. Here they are:
1. They want $1600- is this a good price???
2. How reliable was this model year?? Are they good trucks?
3. It has the V6- were they fuel injected or carboureted this year??
4. How easy is it to swap gauges in and out?? I want a tachometer, but
don't think it has one. I'd also like to put in a killer sound system,
depending on how easy it is. Please reply privately to
titanicman28@hotmail.com
Once again, hope someone knows!!!
Michael C.
