Looks ok but For some reason those body style trucks dont look as good pre runnered out as the newer ones IMO. I guess the squarish body style just doesn't lend itself well to curvy fender flares and pulled out bedsides.
i do respect the fact that you're willing to take a vehicle that isn't really a good pre runner candidate ( in the pre runner world full of fords and chevys and toyotas) and making it into what it is. So far decent project

Rob545, personally I beg to differ..this truck gets mistaken alot for a square body F150 and/or older generation s10, both of which are highly sought after in the offroad community (well of course the F150 more than the S10 lol)..

I also personally enjoy this body style better..Watching this truck drive down the road earlier (b/f was parking it on the other side of the yard) this truck looks massive for what it is..I owned a Gen III that was built and honestly Im just a big fan of the Gen IIs better..Different strokes for different folks..

But dont get me wrong, I do plan on picking up another *cough* truck and making a WAY BETTER built replica of a certain *cough* red truck later on down the road..

Spawn..the red Dakota has been gone for a good 2 years now..Im over it..

an updated photo of the Gen II...

painting the rims tomorrow..and looking to buy some new headlights and clear corners off ebay this week..as well replace some leaky valve cover gaskets..booo.....typical Dodges lol

did get all the smog stuff squared away so its going to smog this week as well..
I hate big prerunner bumpers so stockers went back on..

Id have to agree the squair bodys looks great, and the dodge was made to look like a ford at the time just like the T100 was almost an exact replica of an f150.

Squairbodys look soo much meaner IMO.

I say you make the truck into a show truck. As it is unique.
