Not the same one that is used on the rear diff.
There are other Toyotas that used electric lockers on the front like I think the Landcruiser FJ-80, but it was a solid axle and a different diff design.
I maybe wrong and if I am I sure someone will set me straight, but the are not many options for the front diff on the 3rd Gen. It is a 7.5" clam shell diff. There are some full time lockers like the Detroit types, and thier TrueTrac LSD that will work and then there is the ARB selectable locker like I have.

You are both right.
Yes it is a dumb question and yes it cannot be used in the front. I mean have you even seen what your front diff looks like?
If not, I suggest you climb under there and get fimiliar with the workings of your truck. You should at least have a very basic knowledge of what's going on down there...
I'm just ribbing you a little bro, but you really should do what I said. After less than 5 minutes under there it should be painfully obvious why that would never work...

There is however a problem if you try to run the cable conversion on it because it hits the springs....

I am working on installing an LSD carrier from a '91 Supra Turbo (3rd gen) into my spare 3rd member for the rear.
Yesterday I purchased a 3rd member from an 84ish Supra (2nd gen) for $30, it's axle code was F283, which means 7.5" diff, 4:30 gears, and 2 pinion LSD carrier.
After I finish the rear, I'm planning on trying to install the old LSD into my 7.5" front diff, hopefully it works.

Supra LSD swapout - results?
Hey there...
So how did the results of your swap-out go with the Supra LSD's?
I'm currently researching the same project for my 1st Gen '88.
Regards,
Sean
