Actually that’s not true, it’s a federal felony to switch frames and not have the DOT involved. The legal VIN is what is on the frame unless you go through the process of getting everything legal. Your insurance company might check the VIN on the frame after an accident and if the vehicle has...

Auto makers have been using the same colors since WW2, the modern formulas will change the color slightly but it’s been rinse and repeat over and over again. I scanned the dash in my 64 Fairlane and the color came up as a 2012 Toyota color… lol It was a perfect match

The Dakota frame will have a VIN on it and before you drop money into your new project you should have checked out. You don’t know if it is hot, scrapped unless you have a good title for it and I hope you do. Because as far as the DOT is concerned your old truck will be a rebodied Dakota pickup.

I’ve seen those before just never gave them any thought, how would they be a tensioner?

Why is there no photos, I’m truly interested in what the your talking about but I’m having trouble visualizing what you are talking about. Having worked on a scraped far too many A B C and F/M body mopars and haven’t seen anything like what you are describing. Post a damn picture.

Without photos it doesn’t exist, it’s just BS… You can get pictures or screenshots of anything and post them here so after being asked for several times and no pictures, I say it’s Bull Shit.

You don’t need a lifting plate to use a chain, just a couple of bolt holes and bolts. What you are doing there is down right dangerous…

Does anyone know if things are going well for Justwondering? She hasn’t been on the site since May thirteenth…

Yep those seats look great!

Don’t forget K frames being deferent for every engine family since 1960. Are there reproduction 340/360 brackets?

It could be that you have a leak at one of your fittings, I got into a Corvette that I had trouble getting a non factory joint to seal. It didn’t leak fluid but it did air.

I can’t remember if you can get the calipers on the incorrect side of the car on the mopar or not but make sure the bleeders are at the top of the caliper.

Man get a chain on that short block…

I’ve done this before a couple of times, remove the trim from the edges of the headliner then remove the fabric and scrape off the foam. Clean the cardboard base and then you could apply either a thin layer of foam first then a layer of fabric or a new layer of fabric that matches your interior...

Trim is different between the two…
