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

 

1978 Trucks didn't have 4wd from the factory.......

 

hmmm, they must have meant 79 then, i think im buying it from twogirls.....
that might be the problem

 

and well i must admit my lack of knowledge isnt helping either

god i need my search button back

 

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

[QUOTE=MaXXis85;9520159]Here is my 85 bedfore I did anyhting with it.

 

thank you, im probally gonna go give a look at them this weekend.

 

some 78s where convereted to 4wd with dana t case and axes make its its not one of those!!!

 

bigt, you lost and confused me

 

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!

 

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.

 

well you have pics of the 3 different examples of toyota mini truck axles in post #5

If they used Landcruiser axles, the pumpkin will be bigger...

 

ill try to get them to email a picture before i drive 2 hours to findout what they are.

then ill post it up here so you geniuses can tell me
