I have a '49 KB2 all restored. Its a fun truck and gets a lot of looks. Only draw back to it is how slow it is. 40-45mph is where it's most comfortable. So at the very least doing a rear end swap would be advisable. I know a guy who has TT loads of parts for these trucks. He's in Missouri. Message me back if your interested in his contact info. I look forward to more episodes. I know you will get 'er running. These green diamonds were virtually indestructible! I won't take much to revive it!
Thanks for watching.I decided to do a chassis swap with a 91 Dakota so I'm not going any farther with the original engine.The video after this is where I tear apart the Dakota, check it out.Yeah that contact info would be great.Dont know how to pm through RUclips.
My dad and I just pulled a 48 kb2 from is 65 year parking spot. We’re going to be swapping it to a 96 dakota chassis. It was also the first time my daughter went to the farm with us willingly. The Dakota frame sits high in the back. We looked at a Crown Vic front suspension and explorer 8.8 rearend on the original frame as another option. I’m excited to see more.
That's awesome.I've heard of guys doing the crown Vic front end but I figured I'd just do everything in one big package deal with the Dakota.No worries about driveshaft or anything else lining up.Let me know how yours goes.Thanks for watching.

First off the beard is starting to look on point! You have a welder.. just zip it back together. I would of used more starting fluid!
Thanks, been putting a lot hours into this beard.Just one more squirt it probably would've started lol
Looking at the door it is not that bad. Look up Iron Trap Garage as they have several step by step vids showing door rebuilds and fabrication.
Just didn't want to spend the time on it.I might later down the road if I don't find another one.Thanks for the tip I'll check em out.
Looks like a qualified helper!
She did an awesome job
Cool project 👍👍👍
