You can swap the flange from one to the next , or you should be able to swap the driveshaft along with the diff

Need to swap the flanges. Using a 84 manual think the other might be from an auto? Larger bolt pattern. Don't have the driveshaft to it. Flanges interchange?

if your changing the 3rd member..remember that the
axle splines are different size's.depending on the rearend housing you have,,' ie' disks/drums you may
want to grab the axles too match the 3rd member.
i know there are different spline sizes, i don't know
the years,,or is it models 'ie' GS,GSL,,etc
