Rear plow

The frame is cut (probably earlier hitch failure), and boxed with 3/8 or 1/2" plate from the second crossmember to the rearmost.

Bet the gas tank leaks. It's almost empty and at a point in recent history was melted against the exhaust when a strap broke. It's a lil wet around the patch.

No other terrible surprises. Aside from the driver floor being way more gone than expected.

Was it in the trailer tires? Or the scrap weight? :)

I am still very confused. 

So the facts I have now are this.

Needs diffs welded
Has trailer tires
Has a v-10 and auto
Has some sort of panty dropping paint job
The floors are only made of carpet
The seat may or may not fall out
Its got a huge rear plow frame
It has a very loud exhaust
Maybe the gas tank leaks
It is some sort of Dodge truck

Here is what I am hoping to see

A Dodge 2500 with 43" sx2s with the required fender trimming to clear them.

If so, I hope it lasts longer than the Dakotas last outing.  ;D
