A 60's vintage Landcruiser axle would probably not be the best starting point, has the weaker knuckle/hub section and likely drum brakes. A pickup or 4Runner axle is a better starting point.

You definatly want an axle from an 84-85 truck or 4Runner, look at the picture below my user name, thats my 86 4Runner with a solid axle swap. I will also be moving to Grangeville Idaho next may, not all that far from you.
