Aug. 20, 2009 - Cab mockup

I started to put the Fargo cab on the Dakota frame to figure out where it needed to sit. 

Here the cab is on stands and in the right position. I took measurements for the cab supports and built some out of square tubing. 

I attached the fenders to the cab to make sure the wheels are sitting correctly in the wheel wells.  This is the measurement I used to make sure the cab was in the right place.

Here is the cab sitting on the Dakota chassis. 

At this point the plan was to use the whole Dakota frame- just shorten it and modify the rear to fit the Dakota box.  Sadly I put a bunch of work in that direction before rust convinced me it was not going to work.
