Preface

This is the story of my 1991 Dodge Dakokta. I bought it from a guy on the Shelby Dodge mailing list, where I used to be very active. (Eventually becoming a moderator and helping out in a lot of ways.) The guy had bought the truck to turbo it and I was looking for a donor engine/tranny for my RWD 1960 Morris Minor that was chopped and made to look like a mini-street rod. The Morris sat around for a number of years awaiting my attention . . . finally between time and resources, I decided that it was a little too much of a project to tackle, so I sold the Morris. I hung on to the truck and this past year I decided to finally get to work on it. The truck is a little worse for wear after sitting in the sun with no attention for the past few years . . . in a few hail storms and other issues haven't helped either. Follow along on my journey to get the truck on the road and then fix it up a bit for a secondary daily driver.
