I second that.. I dont know how far back that is good for, but 84 and 85 truck or 4runner have interchangeable 3rds front and rear, while 86 to 89 rears will work in 85 and 84 fronts... hope that makes sense

Actually, won't just about any 4Runner rear (at least through 3rd gen) work in the front - they're all the 8" diff...

Ya, all 8"s are interchangeable, with the exception of e-locker 3rds (they need the housing modified to fit)
