I think it's common knowledge that a full size truck is larger than a mid size truck overall.

[@NXT_LVL]

Even when the Full size (1/2 ton) is now as big as the 3/4 and 1 tons and the Mid size is now the 1/2 ton size. But the Maverick as a "compact" truck is about 13 inches shorter than a Quadcab Dakota, which everyone I know called it a "HUGE TRUCK" back then lol.

I have a 99 Dak ext cab in reasonably good shape considering the salted winter roads around here and the fact it is nearing 220,000 miles. My question is,how much difference in wheel well size? I'm having trouble finding aftermarket flares that *cover high enough* for rear wells, one of them is rusted badly and I have near zero autobody repair experience. If the Ram flares would be a sure fit for the Dakota it would simplify things for me to do a DIY coverup of either the rears or all four. If the size and profile/shape matched so it is easy enough to make it look better I'd spend the money. I also noticed the Dakota is quite a bit bigger than my S10,S15 or Ranger,driving the Dak seems/feels closer in size to my 96 Silverado ext cab. No people,I don't have all those rigs now,only the Dak and S10 crewcab.

@oh just quit it I do not know if the Ram wheel wells would fit the dakota. the dakota definitely feels much more like a full size verses any other mid sized truck!

Did u u come around to fixing it?

[@had2galsinthebooth]

@@yourdeliverydriver. No I did not. I got tired of looking for the right flares.

[@yourdeliverydriver.]

@had2galsinthebooth man I'm glad u replied because I had the same exact problem! I actually ended up using using some from a 98 1500 and with a little trimming they worked good.

[@had2galsinthebooth]

@@yourdeliverydriver. Interesting. TY!
