Howdy!   Just when I had almost given up looking for a first gen Dakota one popped up on craigslist. It was a complete 1989 standard cab long bed 123.9” wheelbase 2wd. It was local, cheap, and I brought it home three days ago.   So far I did some preliminary measuring, cleaned all the ants and pine needles out of it, and pulled the motor, trans, and bench seat.   My 400 block failed magnaflux testing (crack in the valley). So I need another or I have a line on a 440
