1983 & 1984 4WD Axle/driveline compatibility.
Hey guys. I kinda messed up my truck this weekend on the rubicon and need another rear driveline. My truck is a 1984 4WD, ext cab. I found a 1983 4WD parts truck, complete. I was thinking of getting it cause the price is right.. and i was thinking of keeping the axles to use as spare parts as well. But im not sure if the '83 & '84 axles & drivelines will work.

it should work as long as it's the same length.
The only differences are 86 ifs and up when they went to a larger bolt size the flanges changed on the diff's and driveshafts.

Hey! And if you buy it...I've got a very small part or two I'm looking for...and there are always a few things I probably need for my '83....too bad I can't find any 1st gens around here.

Actually though now that I think about your question, I'm not sure that it will fit. The transmission on your truck is (I'm pretty sure) a bit longer than the 83, which would make the driveshaft shorter than the 83's. Measure though, to be sure. You've got the extracab, which maybe lengthens the driveshaft a bit? I guess you'd better measure.

Thanks.
I was thinking if the '83s body is in better shape than mine, i may just use it as my rig and part out the '84 I have now. Except I love my extra cab, so we'll see.
