fj60 master is cheaper than non-ABS fj80 master cylinder. ABS 80 series master works with front disc/rear drum, so you will probably have to pull the check valve if it's set up that way. It may not have a check valve to pull.

I'm running an 82-85 Supra MC. At 15/16" bore, it's just a tad smaller than the 80 series master. The rear residual pressure valve can be replaced with one from a Toy truck (until you get 4WDB). I suggest you go to a local Pick N Pull (or something similar) and see for yourself.

I also heard Tacoma MC's are 1" like 80 series.
