Dear Dodgers,
Okay, I'm new to this forum, as well as to the fact that there are a lot of crazy Dodge Truck enthusiasts who happen to know an M-37 or a wide block 318 when they see one. You don't know how grateful a young guy who is getting married in Aug., trying to budget, and still get a long time project '54 on the road, is to find this resource. Anyhoo, my cousin has given me hell about this truck from day one. He, of course, is a self styled expert on everything, and the proud owner of a 82-84' full size Jeep Cherokee, with a small lift and 33" all terrain tires and a 360. He has been quick to point out that my truck is too big, too slow, and too awkward, and his jeep will prove every claim. Yes, we two always use every available opportunity to rib each other. So now I want to test his claim. Any suggestions (i.e. where am I going to have the pleasure of pulling my helpless cousin's Cherokee out so I can watch him eat his shorts)? Finally, I need advice on roll-bars, where to mount, what type, what is the cheapest way to go etc.? I read through the archives, but I didn't see anything on them. I am pretty handy with a welder. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if I get overeager in posting stuff, and I'll calm down. Thanks. I'm glad I found this.
