1988 Dodge Dakota Mopar Express

I luv the 1st gen Dakota they are a great looking truck and a lot of fun. Here's some pics of the 1987 that I was building I did the V8 swap and drove it for a couple years while trying to fix the body. I never got to finish the body & paint but still had lots of fun with it. The best part was as it sits in the pics I only had about $1200 into it including buying the truck. I did all of the fab work and install myself including the custom built oilpan and mounts I fabbed everything on my own (challenging but fun). The engine bay is tight for the engine but tight is good. I unfortunately had to let the truck go due to $$$ but still wish I had it.

ps I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging about doing the work it's just that I was doing this on a very tight budget & did have the ability to do it, I do appreciate everybody's rides equally whether self built or "bought". My Dak wasn't pretty but it sure went like hell
