Given the option of choosing between some sort of Rube Goldberg matchup of a MOPAR front clip and a GM rear frame, and using the entire Dakota frame, I think I'd err on the side of trusting the Chrysler Corp. engineers to get it right over some hotrodder's Budweiser-fueled pipe dreams. Even the so-called "professional" chassis butchers don't have the R&D facilities of a major auto manufacturer.
