impounded dakota
+1y
Well, all the avenues i thought i had for this area before seem to have disapeared. I need to convert my front lug pattern on my truck from 6x4.5" to 5x4.5". I've found forums on various sites stating that people have taken older dakota hubs, and just simply bolted them up to the newer dakota spindles, and that it was supposed to be virtually "bolt on". But i have yet to see anyone do this on a dakota, nor hear of anyone who did this.
My only option seems to be going to a machinest and asking them to pull my lugs, plug welding the wholes, lathing them true, then redrilling them. My only issue is that the last three machinest's i found don't want to be left with the liability involved.
So here is my question, have any of you dakota guys heard of someone swapping to the older dakota hub, and having it work out?
Or do any of you guys know of someone in California or close to, that can do the machine work for me. All help will be appreciated.
