    What is width of the Dakota from axle to axle? I have a 48 ply coupe and I put a diff. from a 1979 camaro in it. Had to do the spring pads. I am now looking for something to put in a 48 chevy coupe.
    Thanks Rex

    Hey Rex,
    It was 54 1/2" between the backing plates. Someone told me when I move the spring perches, I have to have the body on the frame to correctly set the pinion angle because of the loaded weight. Anyone know how to do this? I was just going to move them out a few inches in their stock locations. Sorry for all the questions, it's my first.
