wayfarerstranger Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I met this guy who bought a d24 4DR its in pretty rough shape , he just wants to put the body on another car frame and use all the parts from the donor car ..engine, tranny,brakes etc.. it`ll be a rat rod cause the car is to rough for anything else .. what should he get for a donor car ... i know some people on here have done swaps like this but i wasn`t sure what was best for the 4 dr model . thanx for any input..

greg g Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Early ones had 5 bolt rims later had 6 bolt deals. Don;t know what the cut off was. Only thing a bit funky is the front frame horns are angled up and may need to be dealt with. Wheel base on the non extended cabs is 112, extended is 117 or 118 I believe.

Paul Beard Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I know from experience that 1992 Dakota has 6 Bolt wheels. Almost bought "92" dakota rear axle until I saw it had 6 studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james curl Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I know 1990 is still 5 lug as I have one in my 48 Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
