2001 Dakota rear bumper fit correctly on a 1995 Dakota? - 02/12/24 04:04 PM
For my mini tubbed 95 Dakota project. I can and may go with a roll pan for the rear. However- Id like a chrome bumper. I like chrome plated steel bumpers for hot rod/muscle cars. Since my truck will no longer perform any truck like duties Id like an attractive rear bumper. Westin Fey among others sells the square traditional OEM type rear bumper the same as what came factory on the 1st gen Dakota. However they claim it fits 1987-2004 Dakotas. So does that mean the rear bumpers are interchangeable between 1st and second generation Dakotas?? If that's the case Id like the OEM sleek rounded edge rear bumper from say- a 2001 Dakota. But will fit correctly on my 1995? I don't really want a squared diamond step OEM style rear bumper. I am willing to buy a bumper for a pick and pull from 97 and later truck just to use for mock up but my local LKQ gets $90 for one. Problem is for $90 all they have is rotted out shells. I'd be willing to mock up a rusted old bumper (not a $90 rotted bumper) and if it fits Ill buy a new one.
