You asked....

When I did the last one all the fuel and brake were run never even rebled the master. The rear end was modern, the leaf springs were modern, shocks were factory fit for replacement. The dakota frame is pretty stout. It has the retractable spare tire feature that tucked away nicely. I used the mounting of the metal bed to the frame and just welded the sides on from the old truck (will do this again as the wood is gone). The emergency brake cables were run and it really sped up the process. Building the body mounts were quick and easy.

So if you do the clip I would sill have to the steering shaft, front radiator support mount, and have to configure the frame to frame so it's kinda wash in my book.

I still have plenty of sawzall blades from the last venture.
