I'll be right over.

Well, probably not, much as I would love to visit your shop.

Eyelet screwed into a roof rafter, a pulley, and some rope....... Or, a few friends and a six pack.

 

I like the second option!

 

For the first time in almost a year, there is a Dakota in my shop!!!

 

Almost time to blow this one apart!!

 

Is it just the camera angle, or do the front tires look oversized????

That guy looks to be in rather good condition..... You gonna sell the body parts you don't use?

 

All the tires are 275/35-15's. so it must just be the angle. This body is pretty straight - only a couple small dents. I want to sell whatever I can. The clear coat is peeling on some panels and the paint is oxidized. But really straight.

 

2 or 4 wheel drive??? I think a 4x4 with that stud body would be cool.

 

It's a 2wd chassis. I am going down the pro street vibe with this one. Dropping the nose 2", and putting the widest meats out back I can fit. Not ruling out tubbing the rear, either.

 

Well, I guess I had a case of premature truckulation. The Dakota needs to come back out of the shop. I need to use my neighbor's tractor to stand the gantry crane up, and I also need to put an air compressor in the shop. The Dakota is in the way for both. So, back out it comes. It isn't the first time I have gotten ahead of myself, and most definitely won't be the last.

 

Does it move around under it's own power???
