Sam N said somthing to me about that last year as an alternative to trying to fix/replace the comp boxes (and trick parts are available if you want to tweak/rebuild one).
I think this is what Don Ahrens did with his car (not IT but very close in the drive train)
Just an FYI. On the truck diffs, if you get it from a salvage yards you'll want to get the front diff from a 4x4. The rears are solid axle. Depending on the year/model of the truck the r-180's are available in 3.9, 4.11, and 4.38.

"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
