I’m a 37 year old gear head, cars and trucks are my hobby! My 3 and 5 year old boys are right into the vehicles too!
The start of the Dak obsession happened when I was 14 years old and my father bought a 40,000 mile 1987 v6 Dakota. Between myself and my siblings that poor truck got used and abused for 10 years! Always reliable!
next I bought a reg cab 91 Dakota 4x4 with a v6 and 5 speed. I swapped in a magnum 5.2, body lift, cranked the keys 31s and beat the snot out of it..
next was a 94 crew cab 4x4, 5.2, 5 speed, etc
then for years I moved onto gm trucks, buick cars, and other fun stuff. Till a few weeks ago I ran into a nice little 1989 short box sport! TBI v6, auto, 3.90 gears.
i currently have 8 vehicles so this Dak will be another fun project that I can work on while I drive it.
I buy and sell vehicles so I listed the Dak for sale right away just to see if I got any bites... funny enough a guy calls me and has a 91 Dak short box 2wd with a magnum 5.2 supercharger and 5 speed! He’s looking to trade it for mine so we might do that... pics!
I would guess they don't use salt on the roads in Alberta since that truck is so clean.
Nice setup That sedan looked like the 68 Riviera I had in the 80's for a sec.
