may be able to if you redrill the flanges....... again.. seth may be the one to pose this question to as i think he's used toyota running gear to do a 5 lug conversion on a nissan before....

 

I'm sure it won't be a bolt on and go deal but, very doable... Driveshaft length would be your problem area. You can always re-drill the pinion flange (like mentioned above) or find an old yota shaft and cut the yolk off...

I believe you'll have to move the saddle mounts for the leafs aswell.

I take it you going 5 lug for a better wheel selection???

 

toyota's have 5lugs... from what i know lol

 

i would say the 4wd rear ends would be better cuz of the same # of studs and bolt pattern. and i dont think the driveshaft might fit. and if u drill out the holes on the flange it may not spin right and could cause a vibration when u drive.

 

i think he's looking to do a 5 lug conversion for better wheel options....

 

OK , if you are tring to do a 5lug conversion its easy. dont get a new nissan axels and hubs thats to much work and you'll still have nissan parts. they make alloy axels for toyota and you can get them drilled to whatever you want. CAL ALLOY makes the front hubs that fit anywheel lug pattern .if your that involved in it theres a machine shop in riverside ca. i can get the name and number the do great work and they are cheap. my buddy got some 5x5 hubs for his toyota for like 300 for both and they are 6061 t6 bitchn billet parts and i know they have the blue prints.

 

yea, heres the situation...sry i dodnt elaborate before...i own a stock 83 720 ext cab and a 86 bagged reg cab toyota, i want to swap the toyota rear and front end assembly because i have 19's on the yota, so yea it would be a 5-lug conversion, trying to do this the right way but salvaging as air ride/suspension parts as i can, so i'm just curious to see if the nissan driveshaft will fit the yota rear and will the yota spindals/brake assembly work with nissan arms?....if not im willing to do the work but i was just trying to save time because its a personal truck not a customers...thx guys

 

o and obviously going with that bagged set up i would be throwing my reverse 4-link in there which would take place of the leafs
