Depending on the transmission... I had an 2002 Dakota with an NV3500 that I adapted a Hurst shifter for a mid 90s Chevy S10 to with a homemade 5/16 steel plate and some metric studs. I don’t know which year model transmission you have but mine wound up with a pretty extreme overcenter ratio for the shifter, it was 2-1/2 inches of travel gear to gear with 1-1/4 inch gear to neural gate. It was great for powershifting! Shifter bolted on top at rear with a single internal rail shifter. I know that shifters aren’t available like they used to be, but with some fabrication skills, a fastenal, and some gasket material it can be done.
