I know that this is the opposite of what I should do but. Can you take the backing plate and brake assemble from a 87 or 88 toyota rear axle and but it on a shorter 84 toyota axle. I want the bigger brakes but I don't want to change out the axle.
Can any body help

I would swap the axles. You'd be getting the larger brakes you want, and the wider axle.

If you still want to just swap brakes, I'd get them side by side and measure and see if it will work.

im sure they will bolt right up but unless this is a mall crawler you need the extra width

I did it.

I put 90 rears on my 83.

bolts up, butt the axle flange the drum rides on is smaller on the 83 axles than for the newer ones. don't know the size on a 84. mite be fine, mite not.

it will work fine. although I think the late model drums are a PITA compared to the early stuff.
