Hey Azie! Thats interesting news. My 2wd 1989 Dakota is slated for a full restoration and
build up some time in my life time. (heh) that was my first dakota and was my grandfathers
truck. It would be the very last of my fleet that I would ever part with. And not unless I
was at gunpoint. The issue is, I don't know what the frame on that truck looks like. I might
be in the market for a solid 2wd long bed frame. I've been meaning to get under that truck and
inspect it, in light of recent developments.
The 2wd truck has been in the rust belt its entire life so I'm thinking its frame might be in
nasty shape too. I'll keep this info in mind!
