Can you use a 1200 ute diff under a 1000 if you use front wheel drive rims?

I'm sure that you are asking about the 1200 rear axle assembly & not the differential, which is just part of the whole 'rear end'
The 1200 ute rear end can be fitted under the back of a 1000 but if you an get some wheels to fit under, then good fortune to you, but in my view at least, it looks pretty crook.
The width difference is a mere 1-1/4" [about 32mm] per side, but the 1000 is a small car with tight clearances in this area, so measure carefully before spending any real cash on the 1200 ute rear end conversion.
I wish you good fortune in finding some rims that will fit.

I know,i just can,t help myself sometimes.Our 1000 race car has a steel 1000 diff, i pinched it out of my 1000 wagon
and replaced it with an alloy case. It's a 4.1
its locked and has not given any trouble since
If anyone has any
iron case 1000 diffs i would be keen to purchase them (just in case)
Cheers Rob
According to my material, there were no 'iron case' diffs fitted to 1000's from new, & in 1000's, the 4.11 to 1 ratio was used in Sedans & Coupes while Utes & Vans had a 4.375 to 1 ratio as standard
There was however, a 4.11 to 1 iron case H145 diff that was listed as a 'factory option' for 1200 Vans/Wagons.[The 'standard' ratio was 3.9 to 1]
All of the wagons in Australia that I have heard about so far, that have been reported with a 4.11 to 1 diff, used an alloy one, which would be a 1000 differential & this could have been fitted by the state distributor, the dealer, or anyone else during the life of the vehicle.
If you have an iron case H145 differential in 4.11 to 1 ratio, then you would seem to have one of these 'factory option' 1200 diffs that looks to have found it's way into your 1000 sometime during the last 36 years or so.
