If I understand you right, you think he means front or back. His driveshaft will have a slip yoke on the tranny side and cant go but one way. I'm assuming that he unbolted it from the rear end and is worried about how to bolt it back to the diff., if thats the case then just bolt it up and go.

Not going to argue with you, being that you are 4X4Matt you must know it all.
