While I have not used that specific kit I did something similar using an xr7 dash cluster and speedhut gauges. I’m sure something similar could be done with the Dakotas and you can use vinyl wrap to create a custom wood grain look pretty easy. I used a gun metal flat grey to match my interior. My car is a standard as well but the xr7 parts fit the same.
You can see more details on how I installed them here
