Do you happen to have a shot face down of how you did the work and the width of the frames from the inside?

Does anyone know the dakota frame width?

Sorry no shots looking straight down at splice. The Dak frame is wider than the early Dodge truck frames. I used a gen II Dak front end on my 55 because I got it for cheap. Most swaps are done with the Gen I Dak front end. It's a much better fit and you can get dropped spindals for them. Best advice I can give you is set both frames side by side and determine where you want the splice before cutting anything. Also be sure you match the old trucks wheel base other wise your fender wheel wells will not be centered on tires.
