Great to hear. My 56CDAK journey is just starting. I bought a solid 56 big window Dodge which will go on my 2001 Dakota chassis. Everything from the Dak cab will go into the 56 as my daily driver. So as a daily driver is the fuel mileage reasonable? I plan to use a remanufactured long block 4.7V8 with a 65RFE automatic, which I hope on highway driving will get me 20+mpg. It should be turning less than 1800 rpm at 70. Curious too, what it's like in colder weather to drive a vintage style cab. Is the heating/windshield defrost equal to what it is in a 2005 Dakota? I'm in Green Bay so the weather here is similar to Ontario.
