So the 60030 part number in the post above is...? The price is different between the two P/Ns.

80 Series sector shaft.
All this information is in this thread.
Or you could always look up the part numbers yourself.
Yes I have read it, and actually, no the specific difference between the two part numbers is not spelled out. Furthermore, the post itself speaks of the 105 sector shaft. Yet the screenshots from the phone a few posts back speak to the 80 sector shaft.
Have *you* read the thread?
Besides, most parts sites don't give the application of the part. At least not the ones I frequent. They just indicate availability.
The original sector shaft has 30mm splines (tapered of course), the 105 has 32mm splines. This necessitates a pitman arm with a bigger hole.
Toyota rarely spells out changes or improvements. They simply say "replace this with that plus one or more other bits." This is known as a "set-supersession" in Toyota-speak, or a multiple substitution with other manufacturers.

Thanks @cruiserdan
If 60030 is for the original 80 model shaft, as per @jonheld, then it should be noted...as it confused me when I thought I was ordering the 105 model shaft. T'was why I asked.
Informtion like what I provided above does not come from the manufacturer or cut-rate on-line sellers. It comes from parts professionals with decades of experience that current buyers are not at all interested in paying for.
Cruiserdan, while that is very much appreciated it’s also very rare. 95%+ of information on the internet is dubious at best, so I understand why landlocked would want confirmation before spending several hundred bucks on potentially useless parts.

Please read post 146 on this thread.
Yup. Saw that one. It makes no reference to 60030 (close, but not that P/N).
Thanks guys
MUD is always the best place for good info and/or consummate clarification.
No doubt, many of you here are absolute pro's. It's why thousands of the rest of us come to bask in the generous outpouring of your knowledge. That, and to get the coveted double-bird thrown at us. lol
Hello Dan I saw somewhere here the two plates that go on either side of the frame to strengthen the steering box torque. I've searched so many threads and can't find it. Need the Guru to help this guy. thank you for your time and Knowledge. PS: After visiting the Museum my wife doesn't bother me about my passion. Thank you!If you think the shaft is expensive you should price the complete box.

Nothing from the factory.
80 & 105 Series Steering Box Chassis Repair Plates - Black Mamba Racing There’s a fair few other offerings as well, all from Oz that I’ve found. Also on eBay
Which would be intended for right-hand-drive. It may, or may not, be a true mirror image.
Darren may know.
Hey Rick, I'm swapping in the 105 scetor shaft and want to know if yours came with or with out the adjustment screw. I'm guessing since mine did not, i have to swap it into the new shaft. any tricks to getting the dam thing out? i'be have already un-staked the two locations.
PS used to live Acton MA
Sorry but that was long enough ago I can’t remember that detail. Maybe somebody else can help.
Placed my Redhead order today. After beating the 105 upgrade to death, I'm going with one of their off the shelf units (P/N 19721) with the $250 core and $70 flat rate 2-way shipping. I can't justify that 105 upgrade but I'm only running 33's and don't plan on wheeling it that hard. I am excited to get my Marlin Crawler upgraded steering kit installed at the same time! (just remembered I have to paint the Marlin ends and arms)
Received my Redhead Gearbox today. It's so purdy! Looking forward to getting this installed in the next week or so.

The Redhead box was the last part I installed on a completely new steering system in my 93. It really finished that off nicely.
Cheers
