60 owner lurking the 40 section w/ a ? bout a 40

[Trapper50cal]

Hi 40's cruiserheads,

I'm usually in a much smaller and maybe weirder section of cruiserdom, the 60 series threads but my buddy has a 67 FJ40 and is trying to get ready for CM09, he asked me a question, that I will now ask you.

He has the pre-68 axles (as he tells it) and can't put a locker in the rear as a result (different carrier?...)

what's the best way to get a locker in the back diff?

Switch out axlehousings/rear diff as one? get one off a scrapper? switch out thirds with a post 68 model?

Set me straight, oh gurus of the 2door

Really? 21 views and nothing?

Even if the question is moronic (which certainly could be the case) not even any flaming?

Cmon guys (or Gals...Ige I'm lookin in your direction)

How bout an 80 axle w/an e-locker...

A whole hour huh?

You folks do not know what it is like to wait for information....







Get a 1968 and later model center section and remove the axle side gears and install them into your existing differential, or purchase a valu-lok and then swap in later rear axle shafts from another 1968 and later 40 series, and call it good.


Yes, it really is that simple.

I just thought folks would be all over this one...

Thanks Poser,

I will tell him, He wants to do Hell's Revenge with us on Sat., just has to solve the locker issue.

By valu-lok I assume you mean Aussie or Lockright that replaces the spiders (or whatever is in pre68) anyway? Then axleshafts for the correct spline?
