A lift truck including a vehicle frame having spaced side frame members, wheels on the frame including two final drive units, one on each side of the frame, and secured thereto, a differential mounted on the frame and connected to both the final drive units, the differential including a housing having opposed, outwardly directed drive train component tunnels extending to a corresponding one of the final drive units, and a pair of cradles on opposite sides of the frame, each having a generally upwardly facing differential tunnel supporting surface, each such surface having substantially the same shape as the adjacent part of the corresponding tunnel and being slightly larger in size to support the differential during assembly of final drive units to the frame and to the differential while allowing minimal shifting thereof to achieve alignment of the components during such assembly.
