1996 Dodge Dakota complete restore, rebuild and audio

Nothing super exciting and my first time running all new brake lines. Overall, I am happy with the brake lines, but there is room for improvement. I had to weld all-thread nuts on each side of the axle for the mounting bracket offset. The soft lines I used are not for this axle, but they were easy to work with. What you aren't seeing is all the lines running under the truck with separate rubber lined clamps every foot or so and the fuel filter is on the inside of the frame rail also.

The brake line is a copper nickel line, so it was relatively easy to bend and looks pretty neat IMO.

Been a long time since I added pics, but I have been working on the truck. As it stands, I ripped out the leaf springs and made and installed a triangulated 4-link wth QA1 coilovers. I bought the coilovers used, so I took them apart, polished the main bodies and powdercoated the springs and seats.

There's alot more that I've done, but pics speak for themselves!
