Ok, over this! Number guru's provide documentation to correct this rant..

Even in more recent days the records don't seem to be there. I had a 2000 regular cab Dakota R/T in Solar Yellow. The yellow was a carryover from 1999 and from what I understood there were only 5 regular cabs made in that color in 2000. Even the page above couldn't get the numbers. http://www.440magnum-network.com/info/trucks/dakotart/2000dodgedakotart.shtml

I just saw this old post from somebody on the dakota RT board:

"2000 Solar Yellow (SY) numbers solved -- sorta...

Well yes, I got in touch with William at D-C again. And I have news regarding our infamous and elusive 2000 solar yellow numbers. Turns out:

95 Dakota R/T Solar Yellow Club Cabs were produced in 2000. Taking our new total of club cabs up a little bit (updated in first post w/ numbers).

UNFORTUNATELY, William, as hard as he tried, could not locate numbers for the elusive 2000 SY reg cab Dakota R/T. They didn't even have combined production numbers for the year. William was kinda puzzled by this, but, from what us enthusiasts know about the whole SY 2000 mystery, I'm willing to bet not even 35 - 45 reg cab made it off the line. That's just using simple statistics though. The 2000 trend seemed to follow 1 regular cab for every 3 club cabs. Maybe one day we'll stumble across this information, but until then -- we'll just have to go with what we have and leave the 2000 Regular Cab numbers incomplete for now..."


so still never a certain number even with modern computer data keeping.
