What is the easiest way to do this swap?

I was thinking 240sx 5 lug swap, z32 brakes front and rear, and wheels to clear brakes.

Is there anything preventing this from working?

I doubt the spindles will interchange between a 240 and a truck. As for the rear, swapping in a Toyota 2wd rear axle would do the trick.

You might go to Spike TV's website. On Trucks a couple seasons ago they built a D21 low rider and I think they converted everything to 5 lug. There may be some info about it on their site. I know they used a Toy rearend.

Do it by installing the complete 240 suspension under the truck, and you will have the best of both worlds.Roy
