  They didn't want to, but I showed them my collection of tow
straps and chains then threatened to drag the Peace Bridge to
Cleveland. ;-)

   Yeah, I think the key was that its only a 2wd. Although I
saw Jason walking around with a tape masure; he said he was
measuring furniture but for all I know he was measuring Ram
components when I wasn't looking. I guess he decided the
engine and the Dana 80 were both too big to bother swapping
them into his '95. ;-)

: I remember back in 98ish that your sig. only had the 1996 Dakota,
: 1996 intruder 1400 (I think) and 1996 Kolb FireFly. What some
: people won't do for a larger sig. :-P

  Yeah, that's the ticket - he who uses the most electrons
listing their toys wins! :-) I actually did almost buy a
'74 Dart Swinger a couple of months back... ($500 - it was
hard to resist!) Decided I didn't need another project at
the moment. :-) So I actually *am* making an effort to
not buy every Mopar I see. ;-)

: Great looking (and HUGE) truck! Wanna tow a Dakota to Cecil
: in Nov. :-)

  
   Thanks! I dunno, I already got roped into helping my brother
move to NY from FL this winter. (Moving van? We don't need
no stinkin' moving van!) ;-) Too bad you're hanging up the racing
helmet this year - now that I've got this truck I could technically
cart the Cuda up to TMP sometime. :-)
