Luckily, 8 3/4" housing ends fit OEM 9 1/4" brakes.
Didn't Rick Ehrenburg used Ford end in his 64. It had an 83/4 and he Ford end and kept the existing brakes. He does not like the green bearing. He use a sealed tapered Ford bearing. Matt

I took the hard road, Moser big ford ends, fit perfectly, Moser 31 spline axles, Moser Torino Budget brakes.
Come on Dave, You know I did this on my truck already.
Two words...Hard & Road...LOL
There's more than enough interest for c-clip eliminator axle packages.

You can use your existing brakes as-is if you use standard 8 3/4" billet ends.
You can also use hybrid 3.15" bore Mopar housing ends and a Timken set 20 or a Ford sealed ball wheel bearing if you want to bore the center out of your original backing plates.
If a few people are interested, I could probably make a bolt-on C-clip eliminator/axle package for a 9 1/4" rearend.
Would the timken # BR20 fit the original axles? I am thinking cheap. Weld ends on and press bearings on original axles and go.

What is the cost of changing ends, etc on the 9.25?
How close would you be to getting a Dana 60 and being done with the issue and have a better selling point if you decide to get out?
If all you are doing is changing the ends and putting in new axles its not bad. 100 for the ends, 200 to cut off and weld new ends, then the cost of the axles. Assuming your brakes cross over.

I looked at a few options today, and I think a 9.25" C-clip eliminator/axle package is do-able. I will start to chip away at the design.

Let me know when you get the package worked out. I will take one.

5 lug, one of the more common Dakota complaints is lack of wheels for a 6 lug.

Sounds good...5 lug would seal the deal for a lot of guys. I have 6 lug Bogarts...But they were stupid expensive, and strip only. When we do find 6 lug race wheels, that's all they are, race only...Never street/strip.
I could post up an info thread in a couple Dakota forums when you get more info
