Default I have the craziest Idea!!

Ok so i was thinking hile i wasn't paying attention at school and i decided i wanted to make my truck a regular cab with 6ft bed and a twin turbod 5.7 hemi. It would probably take me a year or two. I plan on starting it when i get my own place and another car to drive. I will put the old R/T badges on it because i like them. I will probably have to make it 2 wheel drive tho. What do you guys think.

Why not just buy a reg cab ram with a hemi and drop it a couple of inches? You probably could sell yours and buy a 2wd ram for the same price, and have the hemi.

yea but then it would be a ram hahah. I think it would look alot smaller and be alot lighter if i use a dakota. the 5.7 would come later though

Just chop the top off your quad cab and make it a convertable.
