Hey Dan, it looks like it will turn ok, he is going to air bag it, the stock dakota wheels go in quite a bit.
he hasn't started on the bed yet, he has cut the sides off the dakota bed and left the floor and the bed mounting in tact, then he is going to trim the floor till the step side bed sides fit and then he is going to weld the bed sides to the dakota floor.
here are a few more pics that he sent me last night, he put the power brake peddle and booster in and even the brake lines lined up and check out how nice the peddle runs around the stock dakota column. Ron...
