Old Hiace vans ran them, I know you can direct swap to some hiluxs, not sure if its all of em.

early hiace vans have then if you get a center they will bolt straight into the hilux diff housing and the RD01 locker fits in em, just call like comercial van wreckers etc and ask for a hiace 5.29 ratio diff.
Dont try to explain what you want to do with it as it only causes confusion in poor redneck wreckers heads.

where are you based 96_lux ???
get out the yellow pages and start call wreckers (ones that specialise in vans is your best bet)
i remember calling nearly 20 wreckers in sydney to find just 1
i got mine with hypolux front the same place that oldyella got his
