Looks very proportioned. Dakota shortbox pickups have a 112" wheelbase. Is that what you used? How low did you mount the cab to the frame? How much does the box floor step up from the tailgate now? I'm doing a similar swap and my buddy is going to do a 46 like yours. any details would be great. Thanks! Last edited by demon; 01/12/13 11:44 AM.

You can splice the Dakota floor and firewall right into the old cab. Or place the old cab on the new frame and move your cab mounts. You can also use the Dakota box floor and attach your stepside box sides. Dakotas are the ideal doner. Last edited by demon; 01/23/13 11:37 AM.
