Dodge dakota rat rod truck conversion

[jon]

Can anyone give me some info on how to build a ratrod truck? I'm thinking early to mid 50's dodge pickup body on a dodge dakota.



Any videos,literature etc would be great.
thanks

Have not built one as yet.
This isn't a field for anyone looking for perfection
I call it artistic craziness. Dakota frame would be a good place to start. Functional goofy with a little planning. What you got besides a Dakota? Most rats here look like junkyard dogs.
