I have a 84 and wondering what model and year trucks I could rape for for gears. Would like to go as low as I can cheap as I can from a scrap yard for gears. Any one have an ideas what other truck gears wil fit in?
Thanks

Complete third member will swap in from any toy 4x4 from 79 to 95. The best ones to look for are the stronger V6 thirds. The highest availble ratio available was 4.88 from the factory but these will be the hardest to locate.

Are the front and rears the same? NO NO i don't mean ratio wise I know that. I mean if I had two rears from IFS rigs could I put one in the front. Or is there a difference in the third members? Also while I'm asking even more questions what year(s) had the 4:88's, and does the diff cover say what gears lie inside?

Toyota's have no diff cover, they are drop out third members like a ford 9".
Yes any rear IFS third will work in your front. I have a 4.56 stock geared third member out of the rear of a 90 4x4 pickup in the front of my 4runner which is running an SAS with an 82 front axle. Like I said, the V6 models have a slight strength advantage over the 4cly.
If you are trying to figure out the ratio of a junker axle, spin the drum one full rotation and count the times the pinion flange rotates. For 4.10 gear the pinion will rotate 4.1 times for every time the wheel or brake drum does one revolution. 4.56 gears will be just over 4 1/2 rotations, 4.88's will be just over 4 and 3/4 rotations.

LOL I'm a bike mechanic by nature lol. Would that by chance have anything to do with the Ujoint connection, see names I don't know. I'm thinkin this is what you mean. Rotation of the hub (wheel) vs rotation of the driveshaft. Close at all? |

the drum would be like the brake drum and the pinion flange is where the driveshaft hooks up to the rearend

... I'm thinkin this is what you mean. Rotation of the hub (wheel) vs rotation of the driveshaft. Close at all? Yes, that's it. A little simpler would be to look at the axle code on the firewall plate. 4.10 = G29x 4.30 = G28x 4.56 = G25x 4.88 = G14x where x=2 (2 pinion-4 cyl) or 4 (4 pinion 6 cyl) |
