The truck was originally bought by his father to use as a farm truck in the North part of South Dakota.It had many jobs including hauling hay and feed for the animals. I was talking with my father in law about wanting a project and he said if I wanted to pay to have it shipped down to Texas I could have it. I started calling shipping company's the next day to have it shipped but not many people are going from South Dakota to Texas. After sitting in the field for more than 30 years Dakota in the field waiting to come home I received the truck now named (Dakota) I started stripping it down and sent it to the body shop where it has been for the last 9 month's. Dakota I have put a couple of new pics of the truck when it came home today. I'm ready to start putting it back together.

Did it have the 250 in it when you got it? Were the engine side-mounts welded to the frame or on a tubular crossmember? How is the trans mounted?
