Re: The 53 is a Green Machine today
Check your local wrecking yard for a 86 to 90 Dodge Dakota sway bar, shoule be very INexpensive. Then order new rubber end links and bushings of your choice

Re: The 53 is a Green Machine today
Cool color!! Something like that is on my list of colors for my ride.
Do you mind sharing the name of the color? It looks a lot like the color of Sgt. Rock on Stacey Davids Gearz TV show. |

Re: The 53 is a Green Machine today
It is a color I found on a Mercedes Benz 94 Seafoam Green I think it was also on a Aston Martin DB7 it was the S W 7000 series with 3 or 4 coats of clear, still too "green" to cut and buff.

Re: The 53 is a Green Machine today
The IFS is from Industrial Chassis in Phoenix Az which makes a X-member that uses all Dodge Dakota components, if I rmember it was from a 86 to 90 Dakota 5 on 5 1/2 with a Dakota Rack and pinion

Re: The 53 is a Green Machine today
It's looking real good, 'm jealous!
Base, clear coats? Did you paint the cab outside or in a booth? If outside how do you not get debris all over the paint? Tri5
