8.25 rearend with 245.1 ratio change out question

I believe your housing/axles will work, but just pull the carrier/gears out of a Dakota (1995 or older??) so it's 27 spline. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.....
I am pretty sure that is correct. Has to be older than 95 or 97 not quite sure. I picked one up from the wrecking yard for $100.
3.55's with the clutch style SG. Fit / Works like a champ!
