The rotors will fit from 84-down. You can use the 4.5 axles from 84-down if you have a 81/4 rear the carrier is the same for those from 1966-1996 [as per Auburn Differential] If you have a 91/4 84' model axles are the key to the swap [according to the Chrysler parts catalog] A true 3/4 ton [1/2"lugs] does not have a pocketed control arm Trucks with 9/16"-5/8" lugs have a pocketed control arm. All vans 78-98 with 1/2" studs have pockets & correct size balljoints. Dakota Drop spindles & a balljoint reamer for the steering arm work. You ream from the opposite side so the tierods don't have to be turned over. A 3" drop spring for a 94up Ram will get you 2". The rear is up to you 
. 79-84 not anything older. Bearings changed from the info iv found. 81-84 2wd trucks/rc's are 5x4.5 4wds went to 5.5 in 80. Aint nothing hard about changing rotors or a rear axle so if you want 4.5 its easily obtained. Try looking at Summit Racing for rims in the 5.5bp. Your buddy had to modify those rims or he used spacers

ok we will say 84 from now on.. I had a 88 318/NP435 shorty. I thought  that it had a 8 1/4, but was quite surprised to find it had a 9 1/4 under it. A check on the VIN proved it to be original.
I am truckless..

Ok, can I swap in a earler AKA "better" rear ?
and achieve the 4 1/2 bolt pattern ?
Are those black, 4"+ mouldings on the lower body glued on or bolted on ?
I'd like to make it all dark blue , two tone does not ring my bell
I see no data sheet under the hood , guess Dodge ended that process in these years ?
And, the gear indicator does not work, sure its a cable piece, bet you can't get that anymore
is there a fix , or look in scrap yards ?

If there's no sheet there's a plate under the cowl grille. Those mouldings have clips w/welded pins Bob

I want to do it right and not make a pile of junk so I like everyones imput

I wanted a V8, auto, and a driver ..with no large body panel problems
I wanted a 83-84 but, they are getting just old enough any thing I FOUND was beat to death
I wanted a rubber mat , roll windows, no trim stocker in SILVER !!

Hello Daryl. Yes the older 4.5 pattern stuff should swap in. I had 2 trucks this past summer i sent to the scrap yard with the parts you needed. I would of given then to you. Looks like a nice clean cruiser to me.
It is for sure, I'd like it to have a little attitude if possible
I hope to be able to find the right parts simple enough ( my, luck .. they are all gone now !
Silk purse out of sows ear
any suggestions will be taken to achieve that

YES... the 4.5 axles will interchange with your 5.5 axles. if you were closer I have a set of rotors and even a nice set of wheels that would fit. Id be interested in the fender and door mouldings.. the shortbox moulding wont work on my long box Dually.. 
I am truckless..
