Was the last year toyota put a solid front axle in the toyota pickups 1985?
heading out to the wrecking yard tomorrow with a buddy to look for one.

Thanks

85

Pretty sure it was 85. Not positive though...someone else will know for sure.

i know this is the noob section but jesus, use a search button, i am ALMOST positive their is an article somewhere on this topic :flipoff2:

why not check the Toyota section????
I think its 85 for truck and 84.5 for 4 Runner?


Rob

dumb hung

i will save you the embarissment of asking that on the toyota section

ALL 85 and below pickups and 84-85 runners have solid front axles

the 84/85 year axle is most popular because it is fully gusseted top and bottom

if you cant find one, call allpro or marlins, they probably have pallets of them stacked behind their shops

Now that's a noob quote. Have you been to Marlins or All Pros websites. If they had pallets of them, don't you think they might advertize them! :flipoff2:

those guys are probably hording all of the axles to themselves...

thats what i would do, toyota should have just made those housings out of gold :D

alright thanks for those who helped.

got a stock solid axle.... mine is from 1987.. :flipoff2: :grinpimp:





:D

Where in Western Canada are you located? If you are around Edmonton or Calgary I can likely hook you up. Hell I have 3.5 front axles in the shop right now.

Ended up picking up a d44 instead...my friend is low on cash, and the d44 was actually cheaper than a toy front...
anyways, thanks for the offer.
I will keep in touch if we ever need one... :smokin:

85 was the last year in the US. Outside of the US I have heard 87 or 89 was the last year for a Toyota solid front. But then again, outside of the US diesel Yotas were available. I've yet to find a legallyl imported diesel yota.

go to your local yota dealership and say "i need the front axle for an 85' pickup truck" :flipoff2:

Almost, 79-85 Toy 4wd trucks & 4Runners had solid axles. The 84-85 are most popular because it had a longer gusset on the bottom, no gusset on top. Factory solid axle trucks were sold into the late 1990's (95-97ish) In other countrys. 85 was last year for US.

There's gotta be a story in there somewhere.....

I stand corrected. I didn't know they continued until mid 90s :grinpimp:

I'd have to agree. What's up with the 1/2 axle?

Housing is toasted but everything else is good for spare parts, or in my case parts for the full floater kit.

I have just returned from Australia and the solid axle yota is still produced there.
