Default Hello

Hey, new to the site and have been looking at some of the threads over the past couple months. I got my truck working and wanted to post it here. I originally bought the truck a few years back in hopes to not have a car payment. The truck worked for a year and had some issues; I gave it to my parents and they just paid a mechanic to get it running while I ended up taking out a loan to get a "reliable" car. Fast forward, I paid off that car loan ahead of time, sold the car and got the truck back from the parents in a not running state. After fixing a few electrical and fuel issues myself :) It is running and back on the road again. Also basically rebuilt the entire front suspension and brakes. It's been a lot of fun to fix something they don't make parts for anymore or maybe I just like getting high off the fumes from burning out bushings. It looks like a pile of polished crap with no exhaust but I'll just keep fixing it til it's perfect.

1990 Dodge Dakota
Engine: LA 3.9l v6
Transmission: A500 ~ (I think)
Drivetrain: 4x4

Long term goal is to swap the engine to a 318 Magnum.
