Diff interchange questions!!

Hey guys i have a 1986 4runner with IFS independent front suspension. I Have spooled rear, and want to lock my front. Ive asked about diffs before if you guys remember me, so i did my research and now have these questions...

What size diff is my front (stock) and rear axles? i konw theres 8in and 7.5? or something like that..

And most importantly, will a true-trac locker from a 1987 REAR axle fit into my front differential? (stock 1986 IFS) ????
THANKS GUYS!!

Yes, front is 7.5 and rear is 8. So with that being said, a 8" truetrack WILL NOT fit in 7.5 inch front.
