ruff1148kr Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 you sure filled up those wheel wells what size tires and wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebruns1 Posted August 23, 2015 Solution Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm looking at doing something similar. Code504 is getting ready to release a bolt on S10 frame swap kit with all the brackets provided, but the S10 track width is definitely narrow and requires spacers and/or backset rims to fit the wheel wells. How difficult was it to mod the Dakota? Did it require you to move the engine and trans rearward and cut the front horns off for the rad mount? Details please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Dakota is basically a true cab forward design and while I never have used them on a truck swap...when fitting Dak clips to the cars..I usually move the engine rearward 7-8 inches...

Frank Elder Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 You guys who post pictures that can't be copied are really killiin' me........how the heck can I document something I'd like to do myself if your pictures are copyrighted? There's quite a few of you on here, and you know who you are so don't think I'm just talking to the OP. Are you afraid someone will post your pictures and start claiming your work as their own ,or that it might start WWIII ? When I see a picture that really grabs me, of course I want to save it for later......the old bean doesn't remember things the way it used to and pictures can really help with the process. So I'm begging you guys, your pictures are priceless and important to anyone who would like to learn from a process, or simply savor a picture of days gone by.......please change your settings so you can share properly with the rest of us....taking a picture of a laptop screen is like saving a bad polaroid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 You guys who post pictures that can't be copied are really killiin' me........how the heck can I document something I'd like to do myself if your pictures are copyrighted? I did a rt-click on the red truck pic and it copied w/o issue.....but I do agree about folks who keep secrets....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details please No, I did not have to move the engine and trans reward. I used all of the Dakota engine mounts. I cut the front frame horns and shortened the frame. It all takes effort and time!

billschwindt Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 you sure filled up those wheel wells what size tires and wheels ? Tire size is P255/70R16. The wheels are stock Dakota wheels, powder coated dark gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Tire size is P255/70R16. The wheels are stock Dakota wheels, powder coated dark gray. Those must be stock dakota wheels from a newer than 94. The 94s came with 15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
