i already have an r/t, im just talking, sorta like pro street style
truck.
stock sheet metal, semi-stock interior. gonna tub the rear, 4-link.
right
now im thinkin i wanna go pre-magnum because of the alum. head options
and
general ease in getting parts. i mean i can get a v6 standard cab
dakota,
'97 i believe, for $3500. arent the only alum. heads for the magnum the
mopar perf. ones?
