Hi,
New here and Zero Mechanic knowledge.

I have a 1982 Manufactured 1983 Model Year 720 ext cab 4x4.

Need proper fit for the Front 1/2 Axles etc.
Common replacement parts are for 1983 Built and do NOT fit.

Any + All help would be appreciated here.
Heard a rumor that old 240Z rears could be flipped upside down and used on Fronts of 720s.

Help !
Chris H.

Care to post pictures?
Maybe you can look up both the 82 and 83 model year factory service manuals (www.nicoclub.com/fsm) and see which one looks like yours, then buy that one?

I don't know anything about them, but I have experience with model year changeover vehicles. I have a 99' chevy pickup and that was a mid-year changeover year for that vehicle and parts can be a pain. I often find it easier to lie and say it's another year. Have you tried asking for parts for an 81' and see if that works?
