Artie, what year Dakota did you use? When doing research for this project, it looked like the Dakota wheel base was longer than the Plymouth. I though the 46 Dodge was a remake of the early 40's truck, and the Plymouth was based on the Dodge chassis, so that might be a real time saver if the WB matches up.
sorry for not getting back to you on this Im bad at posting coments and not coming back at them untell months later but I see you have it under cuntrol and looking good..mine are still on hold....Artie
