It's amazing how fast time flies with a new baby in the house. I havent really done any real work on the truck for over a year! Man would it be nice to be out driving on these summer nights. Anyways that's enough OT. I decided to put the cab on a 94 dakota, despite warnings not too. I need to fab up some body mounts, to attach the cab to the frame. I saw that some guys have used 2x3 tubing welded to the top of the frame on an S10 chassis. I am not sure that is safe/strong enough. Do you guys have pics or links for example that I could use for ideas?

I have to factor in a bit of a tunnel so I think that I will do the left and right as two pieces each and then the "tunnel" will be 3 pieces by itself. I have some of the original mounting points still intact so I think I'll try re-create them. If that doesn't work I'll rip it all out and try something else! Thanks for the input.

I noticed that both of you said that the floor pans were done in 2 pieces, why is that? Is it just easier to make?

Hi Guys, I have a quite a bit if rust in my floor. It looks like I will have to cut from the fire wall to just in front of the seat. I feel confidant that I can make the panels, but I am not sure what to do about reinforcing the body mounts. any ideas? found this site that shows how to put a nice bead in the floors without a bead roller but I think that it would need something more. http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=473

I have been thinking of something like that... I have a friend that moved into a new place and there is an older mercury box that has been made Into a trailer that is mine If I want. Not sure if I want a start "crossbreeding" -
Do you have a part number or a link? I am looking for some as well. I had been looking at these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-1803/ but not sure yet if that is the look I want.

Same Truck, they are before and after shots of the swap. It was done by the previuos owner. I found these on another site and copied them. I think I have more somewhere. -

It was probably the guy who owned it before me, I think that he lived out that way. -
Not so pretty in these... I am not interested in something that I have to baby. and the flat black makes touch-ups a breeze getting closer to being on the road agian... Fighting with the EFI right now:mad:

Thanks for the feed back, I guess there is no avoiding the mountain of wires I have to go through...

I was able to get it off with 4 helpers... Mind you we were all over 6'2" It was tricky, but doable.

I am in the process of putting my 49 on a 94 dakota and the dakota came with throttle body injection. I am wondering what would be needed to swap it to a carbureted set up. I will need a manifold, carb, Pressure Regulator for the fuel line. Can you guys think of anything else that I might be over looking? -James

The feeling around here is amazing!

Looks ok in the pics... but is it worth that much? http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/1588277766.html

I have seen a few pics of different box config. I bought my truck with a 2x4 homebuilt flatdeck style bed. I am looking for Ideas/insperation for an alternative to mine. I am wondering what you have seen that is not a typical bed.

Only one thing wrong with this truck... It's not mine. -
I was looking around at random PH pics online and found this. I see that it is from Aus. Where they made for them only? http://www.heavymetalpickups.com/members.php?mid=236

Guess we all have 'em lying around up here, I got 2...

Thanks Bob. looks like I thought mine should.
-
I am looking for some pics of front fender mounts, the part that is riveted to the fender. Mine are REALLY rusty Thanks
-
I am in the midst of doing the swap myself. I just got the cab/box off the Dakota last night. I am not planning on cutting the dakota frame, as I will probably not be putting an original bed back on. Good to see other people are doing the same thing. Bud's threads seem to have inspired a few of us to do this swap. -James

I have a Canadian motor for that will be for sale soon. I am putting the truck on a Dakota frame. The motor, as far as I know, is original I have the 6volt gen and a 12V alt that is on it right now.
-
Someone did the same thing to mine, but they left out the cross pieces. Looks pretty good.

I have a 49 that I bought a little while ago. from what I have read the running gear is the same until 53, but the dash and front grill changed in 50 i believe.
