Ahhh, carburetor. Only if someone did some major switching of engines . Throttle body looks like a carburetor.
What normally happens when it takes a lot of cranking to start is fuel is leaking back and most likely place on a Dakota is the fuel regulator which is right on top of the fuel pump in tank.
Should hear pump run for a couple seconds when you turn key on and do not attempt to start engine. Do this three or four times and see if it will pop off easily then.
You need to check fuel pressure and see if it holds pressure when you shut engine off. Happened to my Dakota, pump was fine but regulator leaked back.
