The guy is right. Nothing has really changed over the
years on this rear end. I have the 9 1/4" in both my 98
Dakota and my 74 Ramcharger. I have Lock-Rights in both
using the same Lock-Right part #. The newer 9 1/4"
sometimes have an "X" stamped on the case where the cover
bolts up. These (at least with the Lock-Rights) required
you to discard a shim that comes with the kit for use on
the couplers (the parts that slip onto the axle splines).
I used the Shim on my '74. This was the only difference I
have found.
