no heater   from factory

looks like some of the world lives out of the great northern frozen wasteland

put in a electric heater    alt  could onley keep up to the lights, finally give up and froze , had  put a extra batt on floor for heater, but killed it too and could not get it to charge up again  field service mechanic is not my bag anymo,  but at  least I got the wheels back on it
packing wheel bearings in rain sucks had to drive them in on the floor of the Dakota

yes it was a little frustrating and the cost of the trip was probbably more than the first owner paid for the truck!!!

but  made  it home and all the metal is in place
posi and tires were a hoot but many trucks and cars crashed in Wi and Ill and I made it back OK

dragging on cement or asphalt has a tendency to grind off some metal

still sturdy enough to hold the wheel on!!!!
