Thought I was. Haha. I checked the pirate toyota faq, found this.

79-80 no gusset, 81-83 short gusset, 84-85 long gusset (past ubolts)

My guess would be 84 or 85 because it looks like it has the long gusset

The auto hubs started in 1984 so it has to at least be an 84, congrats, those are some sought after axles. To convert it is pretty easy, remove the auto hubs, remove the clutch, remove the 54 mm nut, put in a flat washer against the wheel bearing, install 54 mm nut and torque, install lock washer, install 2nd 54mm nut, torque and lock it in with the lock washer, then install your manual hub, Pretty simple.

I have taken that thing out of my 4Runner, dragged it into the garage, then back out of the garage and into the bed of my truck when we were moving, all by myself. That pig there weighs 518 pounds
