Hi. Just got a mint(mostly) 87 dakota 4x with 37,000 miles and have a few questions.
It was undercoated but all brake and fuel lines are real rusty.
The brakes dont seem to work well and theres a rusty looking gizmo about midway back on the drivers(?) side that all brake lines lead into.
I think it's an equalizer for front and rear, very rusty though and has a rusty spring on it..
Could this be a problem?
Also, any easy or not so easy power upgrades for the carbed 3.9 with automatic(clifford research 6=8 maybe)?
Are there any 87 owners with any tips as to what to watch for etc?
Are there any 87 owners period?
I love this truck and it's already at work hauling my carpentry junk around and boats and soon enough snowmobiles.
one more thing. I still have the original michelen 205/75's on it and wonder if i can fit 9.50's on whatever the stock rim width is(presumably 6")
