The local junk yards around me have a waiting list for Hemi powered truck parts.When one comes in "It's gone"..
I was hoping to find a complete truck 2003-2005 model.It don't have to have a motor or tranny.Junk yards won't sell them like that..If anyone out there comes accross one please let me know..I tried calling places that sell Dodge parts but they are no help,all I get is "That won't work"It can't be done,Hemi's don't come in Dakotas.They won't fit, You can't do this and you can't do that.I even had someone try to talk me out of doing it.If I listened to them I would have sold my truck and motor and got in dept on a full size Hemi Ram.That's not what I wanted,this is. Follow your dreams Nothing is impossable.
