1978 toyota axles

AZkid · 09-24-2009, 11:42 PM

now now, before you say search, im sorry, i just got a new computer, and it doesnt let me use the search button, AT ALL. so if someone could link me or post some info i'd be great. the goods, the bad,
everything,
i might be able to get my hands on a front and rear, for a really good price.
i dont know much about them, or whats coming with them, they only email, and so far i know they are from a '78 and they are a 4:11

check the bolt pattern, some 2wd 78's (& earlier) were converted to 4wd... might be 5 bolt.

79-80 no gusset
81-83 short gusset (to u-bolts)

bigt, you lost and confused me

bigt · 09-25-2009, 03:52 PM

SOME 78 trucks were converted to 4wd
in 78 you CANT BUY A 4wd in americia.. the company that converted them like the trekker or trial blazer.. put a dana t case and axles in them because there was no toyota mini truck axles in the country yet i think!
i remember reading about this during one of my late night yota searching session!

AZkid · 09-25-2009, 03:57 PM

so now, i have to figure out if its a minitruck axle, or something else?! jeeze this is gonna be fun, but the price is too good to pass up.
