Any body see something like this surfing around the net?

Ive got an idea and wanted to know if anybody has seen it done before. I want to cut my truck frame shorten it and bolt the rear diff directly to the tranny and have a little gokart thing. Has anybody seen anything like this before?

Sorta. When I was in High school the junior automotives class did that with a datsun pickup.

Looked goofy as hell, but they were just kearning, Maybe you can do better

Thats ironic my truck is a Datsun except its the year they turned into Nissan

If the Ujoint size is the same, it should be possible - youd have to keep the front yoke from the trans and the rear pinion yoke- Im thinking youd have to probably weld the yokes together.

I had the 4x4 king cab. Had Nissan on the fenders and Datsun on the tailgate. It had a great driveline, 2.2l hemi with two plugs per cylinder and header style 4-2-1 exhaust. Everything was divorced and flanged, I want another one since you can bolt them together in all kinds of interesting ways.

If yours is like mine was, and you keep the alignment right, you could bolt them flange to flange with no problems. I'd use a rubber disk beween them to absorb any slight variations

Im pretty sure ive got the 2.3L model
