After having my computer dead for a couple weeks, it appears I’ve fixed it.

And I’ve got big news.

The Dakota’s broke again. Water pump. Got a new one 3 inches to my left.

BUT.

I FOUND A BED FOR IT. Guy was turning his Shelby Dakota into a mini Warlock, so he didn’t need the bed. Got the bed, tailgate, tail lights, fuel filler, all four fender flares, and the side Shelby pieces (the ones that go behind the rear window) for $150. Gonna fix the frame when it actually warms up, have a body shop repair my rockers, and paint it all satin or semigloss black.

Nice buy!

I was seriously conflicted on what to do prior. I didn’t want to get rid of it, but I needed something other than my mom’s Explorer to drive. Then I saw the bed on Craigslist, said “there’s no way I’m passing this up” and the fire was lit under my ass once again.

I’m so freaking pumped.

Ooh, that’s pretty sweet!

Kinda sad to see the Shelby graphics get painted over, though. Maybe you should just paint the cab red, forget the water pump, and find a V8 to drop in there instead...

Water pump is for now. By next summer I hope to have a V8 for it. Also the shelby graphics were already sanded off on the other side.

I would leave the graphics on the bed.

Nice pickup.

They’re only on one side. The other side’s were already removed.
