Going to be dropping off our truck to the chassis shop and what some other ideas on cages in dodge dakotas. Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Justin

nice work...any pics of the bars running down through the dash?
Are you guys running inner fenders?

Here is a pic of the truck before, was a street/strip deal.

It is now hopefully going to run NHRA H Stick.

360 Magnum with a jerico!

thanks..very nice work, and exactly what i wanted to see?

Did you take the dashout?

Yes I take the dash out.Just cut a half moon in the dash and it will go in smooth.I donot run innerfenders,the bars will need to really high or really low to get them in.

awesome pics. THANKS so much... I wanted to run the knee bar behind the dash like you did. Looks like it is only possible by taking the dash out for the other bars to run close to the windshield and pillar.

Whats the plans for this truck of your customers?

Dont have any photos of the cage but it was built so the driver set back in the club cab and the motor was set back as well.the result was 49.5% rear weight, the truck 60 fted very well and would hook on any track,also with the motor set back a hooker super comp b-body header worked with a small mod.Get that weight on the rear and it will serve you well.If I can find any more photos I will get them to you.

Looks like a one piece grill/bumper/fender combo on your truck...All fiberglass?

Custom? I haven't see one like that before.
