sas with '80 axle, more questions.
The axle I have is out of a 1980 pickup with 4.375 gears, My question is mostly about the brakes. I want to run the vented brake setup, I keep seeing that the '81 and older axles had different brakes 6 hole rotors vs. 8 hole on the newer. what do I need to do to run the landcruiser rotors? newer hub? drill?

Should give you an idea of what you need. I'd read through the Marlin site, specifically their SAS install info, and you'll answer most of your brake questions.

Taken from Pirate4x4's toyota FAQ:
Brake Rotor Swap – Vented Front
Some folks like to swap out their solid rotors for vented rotors. This is a simple and somewhat inexpensive modification. I did this swap because my brakes were getting very hot and making some very annoying noises. If you can change your brakes you should not have any problem with this swap.
79-80 toyota mini axles -> Rotor bolts onto hub with 6 bolts and the wheel studs are pressed into the hub only. For Land Cruiser vented brake swap you must use 79-80 LC rotors.
81-85 toyota mini axles -> Rotor bolts onto the hub with 2 bolts and the wheel studs are prasses through the hub and is pressed into the rotor. For the Land Cruiser vented rotor swap you must use 81+ LC rotors. Uses Toyota 90942-02053, Dorman #610-264 or Napa 641-3126 wheel studs.
The Landcruiser rotors are wider because they are vented but otherwise fit right on with no other modification besides the caliper.
The caliper comes in two flavors... one has two larger pistons and two smaller, and another has four pistons that are the same size. The ones with four large pistons would technically give you more braking force. I used the same pads because mine were still fairly new... so you don't need new pads unless yours are low.
And because you'll probably want to know later anyways:
