I have a 73 Duster, currently 7 1/4 but I found an A-body 8 1/4 froma 74 Duster. Is the "unit" and pinion from the Dakota a direct switch over? If so I can take it to a good local shop and let them install and set lash, etc. And, I appreciate your time, help and m&m's My YouTube Channel, "Hoosier Garage" https://www.youtube.com/HoosierGarage
