I have converted my 6 to Nissan 300 axels. Cheaper than the Corvair
alternative. Bought new, beefier half shafts. Do not know what diff you are
using. If it is the later one [Good parts conversion], then you should know
it comes stock with a 5 bolt pattern, and Richard sells an adapter to the 4
bolts required for our u-joints as part of the kit. I opted to use 1881-83
axels, they still use u-joints and half shafts like the TR. You could go
direct to CV joints, as this is what the later Nissan diff uses, I should
have done that. There is a source of adapters from the CV to the u-joint for
earlier Nissan axels. I am having more adapters for the inner bearing of the
Nissan axel fabricated as we speak. You might consider this alternative. I
have attached a couple of pictures.

You really only need the fabricated bearing carrier, special u-joint and the

u-joint more by mistake than on request.
