Swap complete rear axle assembly, fit up some pipes for actuation lines.. Not tricky. Might be harder nutting out switch/ relays for vacuum system.
Or to just fit the nugget a lot harder as diff rear hat would need to be cut off and diff lock one welded in place

Front diff is a high piñon rear diff is low piñon draglink will need work.
Seen it done in a up north winch truck all good till it broke on the tracks as it was welded assembly which in all cases is not a good idea

The diff swap I did a few years ago was easy. No manual, all wiring sat exactly where it was meant to, so just plugged into the loom where required.

Oh yes easy pisy in the back , get mcvalve for vacuum activation run rubber or steel lines for vacuum
Unless you got Nissan expensive valve bank to run
