If you want to learn more about M11's read the horror stories at hotrodder.com about lower control arm bolt failures.
The Dakota comes from a very similar vehicle in length, weight.and most importantly center of gravity. The roll center of a M11 is so far off from that of a truck it's not even funny. You got a little Model A, go for the M11 you got a truck that you might use as a truck go Dakota, You won't look back.
