the dakota full frame approach is a rocky road-----the frame kicks up too high over the rear wheels---you will spend alot of time cutting your rear floorboards out and trying to make it look normal around the back seat and trunk....i put a dakota front clip on my 50 hudson--exactly the same front width---frame within 3/4 inch of same width...bob
I will not be using the entire frame from the Dakota. I would only be using the front portion and grafting it to the 1957 Plymouth frame.
