Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Most Russian spec wagons use the H260 diff as well.

Gerrit, yes and no, haha,Seems to be a conflict of information. Yes, not ALL wagons and coil cab chassis models ran H233B rear ( i am duly corrected, you are absolutely right), BUT,..... there are models issued with them for sure.

Something i found: (Unfortunately i can't find this list with a date of manufacture to further illustrate.)

G60 Font C216 ?SPL
G60 rear H260 ?SPL Heavy Duty model
G60 rear C216 ?SPL SWB

GU front H233B 31SPL

Correct,The 233 / 260 does indeed denote the crownwheel diameter. (mm)

What this thing needs is an extra rear axle and coil springs all round.
