53 Dakota

How close was the wheelbase?
Was it a short cab, short bed Dakota?

Interesting hood treatment.

I'd love to see the "dirty" areas where stuff had to be mated together.
I extended the bed about 4", 92' reg. cab short bed 3.9 auto. the OD ( 46rh, toggle switch activated ) trans bolted right up to the mild LA318. i cut the hood to let heat out. Come see it at the New Orleans Mopar show in New Orleans next March ( ...shamless plug LOL )
