Topic: 75 toyota w old axle swap?????

[ater8coats]

I am wondering what this axle would have come out of.  I found papers in the truck about making the truck 4 wheel drive.  It has birfields so is it a toy or another japanese manufacturer?

[*** YELLER ***]

JEEP 5 lug 9"/11" drums 

  are those lift tubes in the front 

[ater8coats [OP]]

no not lift tubes they are the bumpstops. The front springs are smoked as you can tell

[ater8coats [OP]]

ah yeah       I guess that they are lift tubes.

[kneedownnate]

Dana 27 or 30 

[IronClad]

probably a 25

[ater8coats [OP]]

Ok then on to the next ? Do these axles hold up as well as the toyota 8"?? 

[jimbo74]

dana 44s are close in strength to a toy 8 .... so i would say the ales you have.... probably not.....

you might have a toyota rear axle..... but its probably a 7.5"

[ater8coats [OP]]

Yes the rear is a toyota axle prob 7.5 cause it looks really small

[*** YELLER ***]

no not lift tubes they are the bumpstops. The front springs are smoked as you can tell

um  thats how Jeep springs look after 25 years... or new 

ah yeah       I guess that they are lift tubes.

Pay attention

Dana 27 or 30 

2nd worst axle Jeep made behind the Dana 25 

probably a 25

thats what i was thinking looks just like my Cj axle and old spring pack




 

[jimbo74]

Yes the rear is a toyota axle prob 7.5 cause it looks really small

2wd trucks at least after 79 had 7.5s with 5 lugs and spring under axles... some had 8s but it was rare

[ater8coats [OP]]

thanks guys!!!!!!!!

[89sastoyo]

Yeah I would say it could be anything from a dana 25 to dana 30 because i have a three or four dana axles from early willies jeeps they all look similar, and yes they will break.

That steering is crazy to is it a push pull box or is it converted to an ifs type steering box? cause its cross over but i looks to have a drag link going forwards and back not parallel to the axle

[Gittinit]

I see a draglink behind the axle and a tierod in front....Whats wrong with that? It seems like a descent setup other than the weak early jeep axle, but I'm shure the 4wd conversion was an afterthought, and not overengineered like toyotas production 4wd units.
