Re: My 48 KB-1 on a 96 Dakota Frame
dragon wrote:Thanks Dean. I see your baby moons. Did you stay with the 6 lug wheels all the way around? I've been thinking of lookin for a 92 so I could stay with 5 lug. Is there much difference thru the yrs in the frame? I had seen a 95 on craigslist cheap(whole truck). It would have been a great buy. Problem is..I am disabled right now & have very little money coming in. I'll just have to wait till I'm back to work. LOL Story of my life. Thanks for your help>

I think you are talking to me, it's Bob. I changed out the rear axles to 5 lugs from an earlier year and on the front I changed out the hubs to the 5 lug. I have 5/4.5 all the way around so I would have a better choice of wheels. Cost was very little to do it and easy. Fronts required new rotors but I was putting new anyway. I paid $450 for my 96 Dakota, and sold parts that I didnt need from it. I am ahead about $500 with the part sales so free chassis!
