Unfortunately, the chevy front axle is a passenger side drop, leaving you with really 3 options.
1) Swap the entire drivetrain of the chev into the nissan chassis, which is probably what I would do and make for a smaller and more capable trail rig; however that's a lengthy build.
2) swap the 720 body on the rusty chev frame, probably will have a lot of issues because of the width of the chevy frame vs the small cab of the 720.
3) Find a driver side drop Ford or FSJ dana 44, swap the chev knuckles/brakes onto it, and stuff that running gear into the 720. This way you can use the Nissan motor/trans/transfer case with the ford front and chev rear axle, saving a lot of work and time on your build.
