I happened on a shop called Code504 in Seward, Nebraska on my road trip. They specialized in S10 swap kits, but may be able to provide some info on a Dakota conversion, or may have done one. I stopped because they had some AD cabs sitting outside, so checked to see if they had any parts for sale that I could use. They didn't, but sent me to Watt's Repair and Salvage in Wymore, NE where I did find some good stuff. Code504's website is
www.Code504.com. Might be worth contacting them.
Yes, I know, the idea of a MOPAR/Stovebolt hybrid might give some GM purists a case of the dry heaves
