Hey guys, I've been snooping around here for a while and finally decided to join. when I was younger my brother owned a 97 5.2 dakota and that is what got me into these trucks. I've had this 95 and sold it and purchased it back after the guy hydrolocked the motor and it sat for a while.
It was an origional v8 sport truck, no options stripper model. I've put a fresh 360 in with comp cam, double roller, hardend pushrods, hv oil pump, full exhaust with Mopar/ Thorley tri-y's and it also has a Detroit locker and 4.11's with cal tracks now.
Future plans include M1, 1.7 rockers, and a fast efi setup maybe. Once I get a house I will tig up a turbo kit otherwise it will remain a bolt on truck...or a z code blower setup who knows, I always mentally masterbate on where the truck will go setup wise and change my mind.
I modified some ebay specials with 2.5 v bands and sold them for the nos tri-y's i scored off ebay since they have larger primaries.
then got my goodies
I was renting a house for a while and took advantage of the garage to rebuild the front suspension with prothane bushings and moog parts and redo the entire brake system.
I also have a shaker hood project that I'm working on when I have time, otherwise I just drive the wheels off the truck and do burnouts all the time like a little kid.
I don't know how to embed video's well so here is a link to me leaving a buddy's house after Dream Cruise weekend in Detroit area last week.
