Way to go Todd. It's a big day in the build process when you finally get to drive.[cl

Looks like I'll be at your place around 1:00 Monday.

Nice work![cl My grampa has a dump truck looks just like your truck. Helped him patch it up a little and new paint a few months ago.....

KUDOS!!!

Seriously, I think we can put the S-truck swap to bed for the AD's, Looks to me like the "AD-kota" is a winner![

Doesn't even look half bad with the stock steel Dakota wheels on there, either. Not too low, either, but it's a truck, for God's sake. Looks like you could still use it as one.

Thanks for sharing, Todd![P

Regards,
Shea

Good eye Snake! That is the next project [. It is slated to go on a 86 ranger 4X4 chassis. It is sitting on a S-Blazer right now but I don't like the fit. I saw a Willys in the boneyard on a ranger, looks like a good fit. Stay tuned[P

The wife didn't want it in the weeds, she doesn't like that look. Plus I will need a truck so it will be used as a parts hauler.

Thought so, I am kinda "Willy Eyed" ya know Sounds like a cool plan with the Ranger stuff......should be about the right width too. [SIf I remember correctly I was gonna build a big 4X4 Willys once
