where did you get the louvers on the back window. i would really like to find some i think there awesome

 

it started on the passenger side. behine the dash.. well the main harness runs there......
yea.. next thing we were doing was painting it...... it was complete.. had bucket racing seats... was a awesome truck.... fuel injected so we went up every hill off roading.... fun truck..... and of course his job just slowed down so hes got like 100 bucks in his pocket and now no wheels to get to work.......

i told him he can drive my truck till i get my dL. or till he gets a truck....

 

i got them with the truck but there is a place online

welll Things are still moving along. engines all wired up. radator is mounted. tranny is finished and transfer case and drvie shaft are back together...


All thats leave is bolting the bed down. Brakes and steering. exhast oo and finishing the firewall.. its getting there little by little.


new update coming as soon as i get something done that i can can't a picture of. lol

 

well its a little more done.

I got the rear drums done.

new everything. and cut the drums.
now i just have to redo most of the brake lines.


we started working on the steering today to. its pretty much done we just need to get a heim end. if thats spelled right and make a braket from the frame to the heim end and back to the frame. and then steering will be 100% done. its getting there. maybe some snow wheeling video after chrismas.

ok here what i did.

removed the shaft from the dakota steering box.


Then cut the old chevy steering shaft down.




After that we used the laid and cut down the dakota steering box shaft down. and put it in the center of the old chevy steering shaft.


and got this as a finish item. looks like a heavy pitch but it works very well just needs some support at the bottom.





oo and my dads happy now....
We move the dakota off the driveway now. its only been blocking the garage for a few months.

heres some poser pics.

Its a little bigger then the old lifted dakota i had.



.

 

well maybe next year. everything is done. just needed tiny odds and ends. belts, had to put fuild in the engine and finish bumpers and firewall.

we got the drivetrain all done and we wanted to see if it would go into gear. but the motor just went clank. like the starter was stuck out.

no wasn't it. engine had a little sluch in the motor from the last owner and i put new oil in it and it got a little water in it. not a lot but it made a heavy sluch like crap. sucked it though the engine blocking engine oil ways and over heated the rods. 1-2 and 7-8. engine is crap. needs a crank but it would cost to much to change. time to find another engine but i need to find a job. because everything i had was in the truck and engine.

ooo happy new years.

 

Damn that sucks! There are always set backs, it always takes way more time and more money then you ever thought.

I hope this project finishes sometime.

 

yea it sucks. i got a friend that junks our other projects and stuff and it looks like he has a engine.

 

Well good luck with it all. I can't wait to see some videos of this beast in action
