Re: Frankentruck

The next day, I installed a new mirror arm and mirror on the passenger side to match the driver's side.

I love driving the truck, but when I sit in traffic during the summer, I feel like a turkey, baking in an oven

Even though I had pulled the engine out of the Dakota in January of 2017, it sat until the middle of June 2017 because of decisions that had to be made. I wanted to rebuild it so that I could learn how to rebuild an engine, but I just didn't have the time to do it. My best friend helped my load the engine up the night before we took it to a machine shop to get rebuilt.

At the car show I went to (see previous post) I picked up a 63 tag for my truck. After getting all the paper work figured out for it, I finally got it put on the truck. County code 28 is for Bartow County, but I would really like to find a tag from Cherokee County which is code 35.
