My best friend has a 1999 Dakota. I taught him how to drive stick in Frankentruck. His dad was given a 79 C10 because the owner was done using it, and wanted the truck to go to a good home. It's an all original truck that still runs great today. It has a 3 OTT as well, so now he doesn't have to burn up my clutch while still practicing We both have Dakotas and c10s, and the funny thing is that both of mine are older.

A couple days later, I took the truck on it's longest trip at that point. I drove up to my grandparent's house in Toccoa and brought back some vintage chairs. I was also on the hunt for a spare wheel that fit over the calipers. I ended up finding another squarebody rally wheel to match the rest of my wheels.

With the Dakota still down, I used Frankentruck to haul home some rock for extending the driveway a little bit. It's the cheapest way to lower a truck.

The last picture is after I removed the steel plate from the bed and knocked out all the rotted out wood. I had also removed one of the bed strips.
