Does anyone know if the K-member from a 79 Aspen will fit into the 1940 Plymouthe coupe? Looks like it might be to long.

The pre 91 Dakotas have the 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern wheels, the 91-95 (or 96) have the 6 bolt wheels, but you can swap out the rotors to convert to the 5 bolt wheels, newer then 95 (or 96) also have the 6 bolt wheels, but changing over to the 5 bolt requires more things to be changed. Any of the Dakota frames will work, but if you use the entire Dakota frame, most have to be adjusted for length. You can mount a 360 & auto (or most big blocks, check the truck section of Moparts for more info) on any Dakota frame, and other then length, you can pretty much use the Dakota frame as removed from under the truck.
There are 3 different wheel base length of Dakots frames, standard cab, short box, standard cab 8' box and extended cab short box, not sure what length frame they put under the newer quad cab trucks. Clips and frames from Dakota's have been covered here before, look around. Gene

2000 and newer dakotas are not A arm /coil front end, they are strut,,maybe be as early as 1999 some where in that area,,so the earlier the better,, if you search your local craigs list i have sen people with broken down dakotas wanting to see cheaper then looking for a beater running truck,,,ive read some un believable low prices at you pull it yards for frames or front clips,, but i have never seen a dakota in a yard in my area,,,
