i dont think that link is of any use to him.

You will need to stay with a 720 2wd diff. I suggest going with a whole axle replacement since it is easier to find axles then gears for our 720s lol

You can take just about any axle from any nissan and put into your truck. Some are easier than others. If you like LSD then grab an axle from a late 80s pathfinder and it pretty much bolts right in. Staying stock by grabbing another 720 axle will also work. A little cutting/welding may be required but its very simple stuff.


You can pick up a whole axle for about $150.00. Your gears are about $150.00 new. I can swap out an axle faster than I can shim gears so you see the best route?
