They supposedly built a total of approximately 200 in 98 . 1700 Club Cabs ,
and 300 Regular Cabs . I got some numbers from a guy at Dodge Truck
Division , but they only added up to a total of like 1435 . They started
out saying 4000 total for 99 , then 4500 , then 5000 , so who knows exactly
what they built .
I bet they will know for sure in the Class Action lawsuit because they will
have to send info to all Dakota R/T owners .
