Scout ii - DIM DIY How To Build an $45 Dana 300 adapter plate 2001 for Dakota HD 46re 4X4

This DIM DIY How to is the 3rd video of 3. In this video we continue converting our 2001 Dodge Dakota 2 wheel drive 46re for heavy duty 4x4 use. We go over building an aluminum adapter plate to mate it to a Dana 300 for less than $45. We modify the input shaft on the Dana 300 to allow it to bolt onto a stock 46RE extension housing. The final product will go into a 1980 Scout II.
** Modifications to the Dana Include **
Cutting down the input shaft
Shortening the input shaft housing
Aluminum brazing input housing
Converting to all studs for mounting
Changing to a different oil seal on housing
