This question might have been asked and topic vetted already; if so, please point me in the right direction.
I have had some issues with my rear diff/third member on my 4/76 FJ40. I might have access to a mid 80's 60 series LC, to which I could pull parts from including drivetrain parts.
Questions:
1) Are the rear diffs/third members interchangeable with my 40 to the point of me being able to unbolt my existing third and replace it with the 60's third?
2) Is the transfer case interchangeable with my 40 as well? I have been told both my rear end and transfer case need a rebuild at some point - is this a good alternative just swapping with the 60?
3) Are there any other parts on the 60 that might be worth me taking off and holding onto for my 40?
Thoughts?
