I can't help with finished pics, but I am working on one right now for a 41 dodge/fargo pick up. It's about 3" wider track width iirc. So far I have the frame shortened, welded back together and strengthened. Hopefully I'll get the cab mounted on the frame before winter, but with hunting season started my truck time has been shortened. Check out this guys web site: http://personal.kitusa.com/stan/A really nice guy too, I've emailled a few questions for him. The rack and pinion was one of the reasons I decided on the Dakota frame.

Here is one a friend of mine did. It has air ride on it as well. It was a total Dakota frame and driveline. He claims it was a fairly simple, (Not quick), project. I have a better picture, I will try to find it!!!! (The purple one)

Thanks! Tell your friend he has a nice car.
The wheels look like they have a very shallow dish (like a FWD car). Are they really offset like a FWD car, or is it just the style of the wheel?

They are a very shallow dish. He used everything Dakota underneath.(If you look closely, the wheels are even still 6 bolt hole.)

not sure about widths, but the 87-90 Dakota uses 5 lug, 4 and a half bolt circle, just like the muscle years. Would think this would make for better, easier wheel selection. Have an 89 shortbed that is going to find itself under a 47 Dodge sedan when I get a little time
i`ve heard that the first generation rotors will swap on the second gen. dakotas

here is a pic from my unfinished build, 1955 Dodge 1/2 ton with a 90 Dakota ext cab frame.....just to show the front wheels fit in the front fenders, haven't mounted the box yeat, and there will be a MINOR amount of adjustment required, but this is very close to fit.
the rims are the stock dakota, just there for rolling it. the engine will be a 72 440 built, with a 72 torqueflite converted to pushbutton shift, using a 57 truck shifter assy.
