Re: Dakota front end swap
88 to 93 ish I do think. For sure a 90's will work. Watch the springs there are two different ones (4 banger and 6 banger). If you have a big eninge (429/460) you will want the bigger springs. Also note if you want 5x5.5 rotors (other wise it is 5x4.5) you will need to use the ram brakes setup, it will bolt to the dak spindles. There is a post somewhere here that outlines that.
