Old fj40 axles, what to keep, sell or toss

[cjgoode]

My front axle on my 1962 fj40 leaks oil, I do not want to deal with the inner bushing so have acquired 1977 axles.

I need to pull the pinion flanges off to use on the 77 axles, will pull the dualmatic hubs, and probably pull the 9mm line fittings I can. Anything else before I call a scrap guy to take them? Will the brake shoes and drums work on the rear of the 77?

I do not want to take the time and mess to pull anything major off them like the axle shafts.

The rear axle is not centered, so probably post 1962 pre 1968, I think the front is 1962.

does it have the FJ25 3rd member?

 

[cjgoode]

How would I know if they have the fj25 3rd member?

 

[foxfab]

It has a much longer nose/pinion shaft than a standard FJ40 3rd member.

Mike the FJ25 thirds ended with 25s. I have a few sets (4) of pre 63 axles and they are all shorter style.

 

[cjgoode]

Measured mine and they are the shorter style within an inch or so of the 77 3rd members, but I did not climb all the way under to measure them.

I've seen a '62 with an FJ25 3rd member in NY.
