|
Vehicle Specs:
French actually had two Dakotas, although not at the same time LoL. His first was a 1999 club cab, V6, 5-speed Manual Sport model he bought used to get back and forth to trade school.
It was a beautiful little truck with tinted windows and a nice single in dual out (on the same side) custom exhaust. Unfortunately fate had other plans and French was cut off by a distracted driver while on his way to school and the truck was a total loss.
His replacement truck was a brand new Dakota club cab with the optional 4.7L V8 paired with a 5 speed automatic transmission. French installed a nice Flowmaster exhaust for a deep sound and a Westin Bull bar fitted with a pair of Hella 500 lights.
When not in school the Dakota was put hard to work hauling Bikes & Sleds to every crew event.
When French finished trade school he fitted the truck with a sleek work cap with ladder rack so he could easily work in the refrigeration trade.
The Dakota served French well for work and play, he even kept it after acquiring a full size work truck in 2007. At that time he removed the cap returning it to a more personal use setup.
Cheers, MIKE
