Tacoma rear axle parts compatibility, '93 truck
I have a complete Taco axle, axle assemblies freshly rebuilt including bearings, brakes, and wheel cylinders, elocker just needing gears. The housing is slightly tweaked due to the standard Taco spring perch/axle hop damage. End to end it is straight. Needs reinforcing and new spring perches.
I have given up making my 2.7L auto Taco XtraCab off road worthy, in favor of rebuilding a 1993 std. cab.
My options include:
1) swapping the Taco axle under the '93. Yes I know the rear is 3/4" wider per side than the IFS stock axle. Meh.
2) swapping the Taco axle parts into the '93 housing and modifying the housing for an elocker. I've done the housing mod before, not too bad. But this brings up a question-
Will the Taco non-ABS axle assemblies swap into the '93 housing despite that 3/4"? Sometimes there is enough spline to get away with mismatches, does anyone know?

I think I will press the assemblies apart and put them on the '93 axle shafts then. Thx.

The elocker came with a grenaded 4.10. I rebuilt it with some old good 4.56s I had. I will get to rebuild it again (just R&P) to 5.29s now that it is going into the '93.
