  1. I would be interested in some door panels the ones I have I made out of aluminum diamond plate but the carbon ones are real pretty!
  2. :DGot the old girl to start today idles a little high but works. Gotta finish up welding the exhaust and get the front end buttoned up then taking it out for a cruise. Man what a trip. Can't wait til it is all finished up. Waiting until after we move to do any interior or body work. Just get it together for now so we can pull it home. Thanks to all that helped me along the way I am sure I will be on here with more questions shortly.
  3. Thanks Dave but the old lady won that battle long ago the dakota been gone for months:D
  4. Merle, I thought that did look deceiving but I knew you guys would figure it out. I have been staring at wiring diagrams for two days and have come to the conclusion that I may never figure them out but will keep trying.
  5. They are pretty sweet they came on the truck has a holley intake and a chip too cant wait to get it rolling.
  6. Yeah bud i welded about 2 inch risers on the mounts to try and squeeze the dakota radiator under the hood.
  7. got the cab bolted down now trying to remember where all the wires go. Still have a very long journey I fear.
  8. Boxing them in today Dave then get cab on the mounts so I can get the rear ones on. whew!
  9. So got the cab lined up to make the new body mounts I think they are coming along good. I have been working also on a suitable radiator think I am going with the one from the dakota man this is a lot of work. haha Here are some pics of what I think is progress.
  10. I don't know if this will work for a pilothouse but usually you can put the rubber on the window and a piece of string all the way around the outside then set the glass on the opening and pull the string, with the seal in tow, through the opening. Hope this helps.
  11. ggdad I have a new cable that is extra and a used one that I just replaced about a year ago. It is for a 52 b3b. If you are interested pm me.
  12. I just willed the wire to stay in place. Haha No the cab is still sitting in the same place have had no time lately hoping to get to it some next weekend.
  13. To put you all at ease I have found a local buyer guy down the street has a 54 that he is building and is going to take it off my hands. thanks for the input. Dan I am going to Bragg so probably in the Fayetteville area.
  14. Bud I consistantly check your old threads for how to. And test fit is coming this weekend. should be good though fit good with the tunnel not trimmed and put in yet so am crossing my fingers.
  15. Now you got me worried. Are you talking about the lip on the tunnel under the seat? I am definately a novice at this and love all the help I can get. The toeboard is the piece that the tunnel runs through now right?
  16. Got the tunnel tacked into place cut the sheet metal from the tailgate off the 96 dakota. but just glad to be back and doing something toward an end state. Still have lots to do to fill in the gaps on firewall and floorboards, slow and steady.
  17. I still have the frame and engine, that was running less than 2 months ago, from my 52. I hate to scrap it but have to downsize work is shipping me off to NC and don't want to drag it across the U.S. Any reasonable offer will be accepted. Thanks Guys. P.S. I pulled the radiator
  18. Had a BBQ today and got some help to set the body on and check measurements for final weld. So got a little further toward the finished product.
  19. its a 52 1/2 ton and the steering box was tight. I was driving this around a couple weeks ago.
  20. No sorry I need it to put the body on the Dakota. And there is no point in fixing what aint broke
