Re: The Dakota Cadillac (68 K20 w/ Cummins)

Yeah, I hate the caddy lights but I won't pull it out of daily duties until my 63 is painted. I bought it with them in it along with the panels to return it to stock, so I can't claim credit for the ugliness that they are.

The strap for the hood is because the large by huge intercooler and hood latch like to occupy the same place, I'll be grafting in a late model cable release soon enough.

I love my bucket, it holds my work stuff and it's easier to throw it between the seats than in the back seat. Plus a pop bottle nestles in there pretty good and you can empty it and use it to stand on to play under the hood! Eventually I'll build a custom console but I'm too busy driving it. (It isn't bolted down, just set in there.)

This weekend is transfer case rebuild and floor surgery to make it look better than license plates upside down with sheetmetal screws. (The aluminum you see is retired SoDak plates).
