Look up the banks sidewinder, they describe how they made their Cummins Dakota pretty much to the t. one thing i remember is to get an extended cab Dakota because the had to move everything from the firewall back, back twelve inches. And with a reg cab Dakota you cant fit in there without those twelve inches. I was going to do this as well a couple of years ago but didn't because i had a reg cab Dakota. They said in the write up it had a/c drove to the flats pulling its own trailer and got about 20 mpg. Then set the land speed record in its class.
