Factory Diff Lock on a 62?

[FJ60Cam]

Saw this in a picture of a truck for sale at a local dealership... anybody heard of or seen a diff lock button in a 62 before?

Factory lockers (not available in NA) were cable actuated with handles down next to the parking brake lever. Is that not an ARB switch?

I saw that pic. of that truck also and I was thinking the same thing.No mention of it in the ad,funny s***.I am glad someone else noticed it,I wanted to post up also.I don't think its an ARB because they say ARB on the switch.Looks factory!

That's a REALLY old original ARB switch.

X2 on the ARB button, it looks just like mine.

Upon closer inspection I can see the compressor and air line in the engine pics...

The truck looks bone stock and really clean, so it didn't occur to me that someone would throw in an air locker.

Where can I get that old switch! I'd love to use it for something completely different. I have an open gaping hole there waiting for a factory switch. Anyone know where to get these old things?

You could put a factory switch from a parted rig in there.

Dude. Totally. For real. I hate you...

Does anyone know when Toyota made the switch from cable to electric lockers?

Bigluxs,
I can't afford a $6,000 Austrailian Cruiser just so I can get the switch out of it.

1991 I think with the 80 series

funny you should mention lockers. I'm picking up 62 axles this weekend with ARB's already installed and chromoly shafts.

 

[Landpimp]

I might have 1-2 laying around, my old 4runner(I built in 1988) had a Roberts Locking Diff(yup, pre ARB) in it, also think my 80 series had that style at one time but I changed them.
