RandyLittrell 3,884 #1 Posted June 27, 2022 This is my old Dakota that I gave to my son and the motor blew as well as some other things, so he decided to turn it into a camper. It has more work to be done, but it's mobile now and off my car trailer, so bonus! 1 4 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davem1111 2,030 #3 Posted June 27, 2022 I see an opportunity here for someone artistic to so some body work on the front of that - maybe make it look something like this? 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,202 #5 Posted June 27, 2022 Not to be critical, but rather offering suggestions... I'm seeing a frame that doesn't look strong enough to me. Those butt welds don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. And 'twist' looks like an issue also. Some cross bracing and sistering onto those arms looks in order. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are pie cut and bent and we are not done with it, just was able to get it off the trailer. The pic must be deceiving, trust me, it's square and level. I straighten pics in other peoples houses! I have been fabbing things for a long time, it will hold. Randy 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,634 #7 Posted June 27, 2022 @Jeff-C175 thats what I was exactly thinking ! think that the torque twist on that will quickly show up the fault. learned to over build , in a twisting load set up . pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
