I’d like to have a stockish one for occasional towing.

If you're talking about poorboy's truck, IIRC, it's on a Dakota frame and has 2 different style of Dak wheels. up

My truck will be getting new tires shortly. I will be running the wheels on the front, I have the full set of 4. The current tires rear tires on those wheels that match the front do not hold air. The two tires on the rear set of wheels have really good tires on them, but their matching wheels also have bad tires. I have two sets of wheels, both with a pair of usable tires and a pair of bad tires (all of the tires are the same size). As is, it works right now to sort through the new ride shakedown runs. The truck was plated and insured yesterday, I put about 5 miles on it last evening. Hopefully tires are to come yet this month so I can have matching wheels (it bugs me more then you can imagine). Body work and paint to come towards fall, its too hot right now. Gene

A nice cage, big beefie’s In the back and a decent engine with enough room up front for a super snail might be fun too. I got the idea from a Truckinin’ cover pic of a black Blazer I seen back in the day and though a Mopar would look even better. This won’t happen for years as I have 4 other mopars ahead of it, so I can take my time deciding the pro’s and cons of each one. What do you guys think?



Do the Drag truck like my Uncles old one
