Re: Advice to a young hot rodder
On the Dakota front....
Find one of the "newer" body style (the one that looks like a mini-ram) with the 318 and 5-speed manual trans.
I went for a bonsai run around greater LA in one of those trucks 4-5 years ago with a friend who was at Peterson's 4-Wheel and Off Road (he's now the editor of Diesel Power) and the thing was sweet.
That truck with a steeper rear gear and dropped 2-3 inches with the right wheels and tires would be an awesome sleeper. The thing was every bit as willing to run as one of the R/T 360 trucks.
