I done a search but didn`t find this answer,How much do i need to shorten the rear shaft and do a need to modify the gear stick?

If you're talking an FJ60 five speed (151?) you'll need a split transfer case. What year is your 45? I know Oz got them way later than the US, you might even have a split transfer.

I`ve got an 81 with the later T/case,I`m getting the 60s 5peed with the tranfer

the 5 speed will be longer then your early 4 speed. You will need to shorten the rear shaft. I believe the stick will also come through the floor slightly further back. Keep your transfercase output flanges, as these might be different on the 60 series case.

should be an h55

The H55 is ~4-5 inches longer than a 4 spd driveline.

So you'll need to sorten the rear and lengthen the front.
