George's Fix It up Thread.
Well guys the nice weather is here, which means, its time to start on the little project I've been thinking up in my head.
Plans for the truck are.....
Wheel Swap (Bought wheels off a 98(?) Dakota, Like these http://originalwheels.com/dodge-whee...els-2082-b.jpg)
Already swapped in my real center console from a '92 in the yard by my house.
Big Plans are,
-Bed Swap. Got a few beds to check out this weekend. If anyone knows of a good bed, or any good Dakota parts In/Around Chicago PM Me!
-Front fender relacement. Also looking at some fenders this weekend.
-Looking for a grille guard/brush guard. Maybe a homemade one, I like trying new things, and ive neer fabed something like that before!
- Going to bedline, the bed obviously, and then up to the body line on the sides/wheelwells. For protection, and tough-looking-ness lol.
Not sure what I want to do with the back bumper, mine is good, but something custom would be cool. (Not a roll pan, something tough)
Interior is good, but theres some tweaking to be done.
Already opended a savings account just for the truck. Putting away $70 a week! Should be good to go for June/July, plus I scrapped my dad's old ride (Dont anyone freak, it was a 93 Camry, with a cracked head haha) , and already have some dough saved up!
Im Pumped!

Thanks for the postive comments, It'll be a lot cooler when shes all done!
- The washers idea sounds like a good one, dont know why I never thought about it!
Some Pictures of my new (10 dollar, Woo!) Console. Took all of 8 minutes to install. Not counting cleaning.
Inside of the console was as follows:
- .45 Cents American, .05 Canadian Eh.
- A map to the Indiana Toll road circa 1972 (???? Really?)
- Literally I **** you not, around a pound of sugar. Wtf?
- 2341231234234234 Cigarette butts.
Thats all.
Picture time-
