Would this axle work on a '94 PU? I'd probably have him just pull the 3rd memeber and ship it.

I know that guy. Yes if that is just a plain old Toyota 8", you'll be just fine.

Joe's a very honest guy.

No, its a Tundra rear end. The 3rd member won't bolt up to your axle housing.

So basically it'll work if I get the whole darn axle. Well frieght will kill my budget. Thanks guys.

One more thing, if he just sent me the locker, ring & pinion would it work?

the tundra axle is over 10" wider than a '79-85 rear end, and 7" wider than an '86-up rear. however...aren't the shafts the same thickness and 30 spline? i'd think with that kind of setup, you could have the axle housing cut down to the right size and use your current shafts and then make the tundra drums and backing plates work with it.

it'd be beefy, that's for sure. the tundra rear end is the strongest 8" toy rear out there

No, The Tundra axle is a completely different axle than yours. The ring and pinion's are different, and the carrier (locker) is different and will not bolt into your housing in any way. The only way this would work is if you replaced the entire rear axle housing.

Thanx for all the info. I guess this wont work...although, I could replace my rear axle, and move my old rear to the front! If it were only that easy! :smile:
