Hate to say it in the Toyota section but have you thought about GQ diffs for some extra strength over the Cruizer diffs?

You can buy your brackets through Snake Racing or one of their dealers for both diff and chassis ends. Its so much easier than grinding brackets off old diffs then attempting to weld then back on.

thank for the help so far, i was not looking forward to grinding the brackets off.

i might stay with the 80 diffs for now, will think about the nissan diffs thou

whats the distance between the chassis rails center to center on an 80 front and rear
