Hey all i have a few questions....i have searched am well ovit it!
Alright
1 does the whole diff asslembly bolt straight from a wt to a nt? as in are the spring plate doovers in the same spot?
2 the transfer case and gearbox are the same? just different length drive shafts?
3 do nt and wt springs fit in the hangers?
Thats about it i think...cheers

Spring perches on diffs are different.
Transfer case will be different depend on what year model Nt your talking about
Springs will fit in the hanger. Wt and Nt are the same

1 . no , also the ratio's are different if you are only changing 1 diff...
2 . the transfer uses different flanges but are the same , you can change the flanges , or you can use the wt intermediate shaft and short slip joints off the wt for front and rear driveshafts . the gearbox is the same but may have more switches which were used for emmision control etc , dont worry about plugging them in , it will work fine
3. yes

I've been working on this myself and have some pics that illustrate some of the differences.
I'll post something up tonight.

You'l need to sort out a hand brake too.
NTs have them on the transfer and WTs have them on the back wheels.

You could run no handbrake on the WT diffs and continue to use the NT trans brake.

i fix this by using NT master cycinder on one side and taking a little bit off the top of the WT back brake shoes. or you could just use your NT shoes, not to sure if this will work for WT rear handbrake as i used my NT T-case drum handbrake.

Or use N/T rear backing plat's & brake's......
W/t NEED'S the H/brake to "self adjust", with out it you out of peddle all the time
Op..... the n/t & w/t perch's are in different position's, need to be moved & the inner driver's side U bolt will need to be replaced with a longer one...
