Hi All:

X2 what "DGangle" wrote. From everything I've heard a FJ62 front axle is a great donor part!

The disc brake outer parts will bolt-onto your 40 Series drum brake axle tube. Substitute the CV ("Birfield") joints from the FJ62 using the stock inner axle shafts and third member (aka differential.) The only thing I think you need to worry about is adapting the tie rod ends (TRE) to the 40/45/55 Series relay rod.

The leftover stuff like the 4.11 ratio fine-spline third member can be sold for $$.

Good luck!

Alan
