nismo dr Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I was planning on having mine made into a 1 piece when I do my 5 speed swap. I wouldn't think it would be much more trouble Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 i thought the j13 520 or 521 had a one piece you could use ? Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Just take a measurement of your driveline & find one in the junk yard that is the same. I have found this to be the easiest & most accurate way to measur for a driveline, just be sure that if your truck is in the air with the leaf springs hanging (not supported by jack stands or blocks) then the vehicle you get the driveline from needs to have the scenario. I measure with the truck on the ground siiting on the tires & also with it in the air un supported. unsupported will be a longer measurement. It does not matter if the wehicle has coil springs the driveline will work. The u-joints are the same on 520,521,620, & 720 & Datsun cars with L1600, L1800, L20B, Z20 Z22, & Z24. The 320 uses a smaller u-joint. If you want to know if the u-joints are the same look up both vehicles on Rock Auto & compare part numbers. I got my drivline for $20 bucks at Ecology. :D Quote Link to comment
