Lenny's Black Dakota

What happens to it? Haven't seen him post for a while and no updates on the Hustler.

Think he still has it .
Pretty sure he posted on the mopar KOS 10.5 tire page on facebook not long ago .

Yes he still has it. Talks of letting his son race it this year.

What about Randy Billings and Dan Hurta's 275 Dakota? Know its SB now but haven't seen it in a long time either.

OH OH!!! dakota race trucks Got any picures or video links to these trucks?? I'm a little biased with dakotas LOL

I would love too know also, last I saw it was two years ago at Cecil. I think he hurt the motor at that race.

L0L, say It ain't so!!!

Bunch of pics of Lenny's truck on here, think Outlaw10.5(Randy) has some, few on the Bullet of the first gen truck, last I heard it was low 5s with a lotta spray with a SB and very basic suspension nothing trick but the custom Aerospace frt brakes the was made just for the truck.

He still has the truck he was gonna try and get it out this year and make some passes. I was talking with him about 31 box and some other stuff a few weeks back. He is also building a 360-5speed dakota for his son now.

Another member here is planning to campaign a black Dakota this year. His name is Dustin Ward and he has posted pics of the new ride in the past maybe he will chime in to this post. I saved a picture of it when he shared last year

Love a 3rd Gen but dang they are heavy. Very cool!

Anybody make glass for them thats not pro stock truck stuff?

I think I saw that one at Woodburn last Sunday. Lookin' good.

There is enough out there someone should be doing it already,
If there was I would sell my 96 and buy another 3rd Gen.

I honestly prefer the 1st/2nd gen myself. But thats personal preference

3rd gen looks better with big rubber like 33 10.5W, I prob won't run anything bigger than a 315 DR on my 96. Gonna try and not touch the frame, Might have to notch it though, had 315 BFGs on a 11" wheel and it was very close to bed side and frame.

How my truck looked last year, it is getting upgrades and paint right now.







new interior is almost done;


New Mickey Thompson wheels powder coted that will be going on soon;


Truck weighs 3052lbs. race weight.

LOVE THE WHEELS! How did you get it that light? Stock frames/suspension ? How much sheet metal did you remove?

Haven't weighed my brother's yet, but I don't think the early ones are all that light either...

Firewall forward is all stock frame and suspension, firewall back is round tube chromoly with 4-link, fab 9 rear and a lot of aluminum LOL

Ahhh, why not do a strut or double A arm frt? So to run heads up classes or be more street friendly.



MoparBilly why didn't he go with the big tires on back? Jk. I think that's the best looking 2nd gen I've ever seen with big tires, looks good.

When i started building the truck back in 2009 it was built for street racing and the track wasn't even considered. Well I have prioties now and the street racing is over for me so now I just enjoy it as a cruiser and track racer.

Randy,
Little brother has always been in love with the pro street look!! It's a work in progress, but it can co from this to that in about 10 minutes and two guys. Bed sides and tail gait are completely removable, and held in place with locating pins to the trees and cage visible in the second picture. The bed has no front, so the back of the cab serves double duty.

All sharp looking trucks guys!

Whats in that red gen 2 and what does it run? Ive got two old dakotas a 87 and 92 that i have plans for someday and planned on doing a similar thing to the bed.

Lenny is selling the truck...

That is an amazing looking truck. If I had the money it would be in my garage, not normally a truck guy but that generation of Dakota is awesome.

If I wasn't so old with toooo many projects now that truck would be in my shop in PA. Love that truck

Black Dakota Dustin had went to Mexico.

I'd love to have Lenny's truck and drop my hemi into it. That truck is definitely the nicest I've seen...pics do not do it justice. Lenny does some amazing work.

Fair price for it, that is a Turbo GenIII candidate if I ever saw one.

Thought it was listed here and marked sold!?!

My Gen II with glass hood, glass bumpers and aluminum wheels, chrome moly cage, full interior with SRT seats, weighs 3350 with me in it.

Beautiful ride for sure!

Cool truck, how far is it lowered? What size rear tire? Still on leafs?

I can't tell you how lowered...I am not sure! lol. It has 315/50/15 drag radials on ladders and coils and a Dana with Willwood brakes. Front end is stock. One day I would like to get some tubular control arms and race brakes to get some weight off the nose.

Who would race a dakota?

Who's hood is on the blue one ?? Looks sharp !!! Mine's 2620 with me in it.

Lennys was perfect.... we missed it by a couple hours
