Certain yrs Mini-Truck Knuckle Balls, spindles & hubs same as 60/62?

[abosely]

Are there a year range that the mini-truck knuckle balls, spindles & hubs are the same as FJ60/62?

Where I live FJ60/62 are few & far between, but there are lots of mini-truck of all years around.

If they are the same in a certain year range it will make getting some a lot easier.

AFAIR......the knuckles, spindles and hubs are the same. along with the lower caps and backing plates.
the discs and steering arms are different.

Ok thx 3_puppies, I thought they were, but wasn't sure. Now I just need to find out which years of mini truck are the same.

IIRC the year range is '79 through '85.

In doing some more searching I came across the following, with significant input from @Downey:

How to Buy a 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup - 4 Wheel and Offroad Magazine

Doesn't answer your question, but helped me find the right place to look in the online parts catalog. Maybe I'll find the correct answer in a few.

Part numbers for the Birfield joint:

01/79 - 07/83: 43405-60015

08/83 - 08/85: 43405-60015

Why are you wanting to go to mini truck parts?

Swapping or just spare parts?

Just the knuckles. I am doing a front disc brake conversion on a fj40. I have all the fj60 parts, but I need passenger side knuckle. I found a pair of Toyota truck knuckles on Facebook for a good price..

That makes more sense.
