Is the Dakota a drop in rear end?Regardless, if that drum to drum width is accurate, the Dakota rear is still over 6" wider than an A body rear (57" drum to drum). It's definitely not a "drop in".

Please respond to my effort to provide you with the best possible solution by using the "Acceptable Solution" and/or the "Helpful" buttons when the answer has proven to be helpful.
