you can change out the front hats for 5 lug and for the rear you can use the axle out of damn near any 5 lug car/truck

You can find any older Dakota in a junkyard and pull the axles out of it.Dont forget to get the drums with them.The front rotors is all that is different on the front end.Keep in mind there were 2 different rotors,one for 14 inch wheels and one for 15 inch wheels.They will interchange but you must have the caliper brackets along with whatever rotors you get. I dont know about using the rear out of "damn near any 5 lug car/truck" since they made about 20 different axle length combos and at least 3 different 5 lug patterns but I do know that the axles out of a 1973 B body car are the same length as Dakota axles with the 8.25 rear and will bolt in.
