one thing i was looking at was a rear view camera. and they have rear view mirrors that have displays in them to let you see the camera.

something like this

I will say this just as a teaser for you Irish and others who may be reading. I'm working on an OEM type rear view camera project for the truck, I've sourced out a mirror to use, just have to find one for the right price and I've already aquired a rear camera. Then I will do a full project post. Until then, that's all I'm saying for now. When it's done it should look like the truck came brand new, factory installed with the system.

There are many members here who have used dakota digital clusters. I plan to get one also some day.

I had the Dakota in my 79 also I didn't mind it cause I knew my speedo was right. And this is a far from stock looking truck with a lift kit and 38s. I got a GM tach to replace the fuel gauge in my truck but the print on the gauge didn't match my other gauges. And I couldn't swap clusters cause the oil gauge was still manual and the speedo was also manual compared to my 91 which was all electronic. The ideal of putting the Dakota in my 91 has ran across my mind but I'm not set on doing that right yet and I would have to figure out the speedo then I would have to figure out the speed sensor for the tcu

pretty excited.. seems like people have a lot of parts for this truck just sitting around and just want to get rid of them!!! got two brand new tires with tags still on them for my truck yesterday for $10/ea (farm n fleet was $169/ea)... today I am going to see a guy who has 6 dually rims he wants $10/rim for them... mine are rusty and his I guess have no rust and still have paint.. not sure what to do with old rims.. recycle?  keep as backup?  I dunno

well.. the truck stops.. lol.. I'm not the best judge because our other car is a 2015 and he says these older trucks don't stop on a dime like that.. I guess the guy we got the truck from said it was a winter used only plow truck so rick just mentioned this is everything I should mess with and be ready to go... this weekend we are going to take apart the fuel tanks because my left tank shows past the full line and doesn't read... when I use the switch to the right, it shows empty however the guy we got it from said they never used the right side and thought it didn't work.  rick was thinking since grounding the tank did not work.. take the sensor out of right, put into left, see if that gets it going
