I try to make it a little interesting. Although it's pretty dull compared to many of the builds on here.Thanks for building the suspense. I'm at work and my day needed a little excitement....

... Now I just need to source some new flanges, or locking hubs. Which I'm not real up on 80 series locking hubs, so what is total garbage to look out for. As far as used flanges, I want newer ones, like 93 or 94 right? Didn't they change in 95? From my understanding 91 n 92 are the bad hub flange years right?
Thanks. So do 93 and 94 have the same stripping issues? I can probably get it cheaper cheaper than cruiser outfitters at Toyota since I work for Toyota. But I'll probably look for used since I'm not in a hurry or just get locking hubs.Cruiser Outfitters has the parts. Till mid '94 is the short, later ones are longer/stronger. The later one can be run on early birf, the clip wont fit, need a washer large enough to do over the edge of the flange and a bolt holding it into the birf.

OK I'll get parts for the later stuff then. Thank you. I'll check the axle splines when it gets here.The short birf rigs suffer the same weakness. Check the birf splines, often they have significant wear, if so a ~$25 flange will get it going, would be less likely to put a hub without birf replacement?
Cool thanks man. Pretty cool deal you got worked out with your Dad.Just did a 700R4 into my '68 Camaro.
-Full honesty, I am the wallet for my Father's fun-time, HE did the swap work, did some added good like a diff stall converter, a solenoid trip/shift thing (IDK, he's the drag racer in the fam) - & he did a whole conversion on the fluid passage plate that involved stiffer springs & check balls.
It's still on his hoist, I've never driven it yet since it had a column shift 2sp hydromatic/327 2bbl in it. How I bought it/titled & we did a 4bbl/700r4 with a horseshoe/floor shifter.
I buy, he improves - we profit. Better stated.
But I can ask him to reguritate some portion if you like.
If it's a internal 700r4 thing, LMK - 700r4 to 80-body linkage IDK jack about.
now it's not only no longer driveable with the center locked, its not driveable at all
Cruiser finally showed up. I've been pretty sick lately so only had the energy to drive it home
Yea it's drivable now. The past owner said it wasn't drivable at all due to it making terrible noises-especially when braking. He didn't know the front caliper bolt had fallen out. After my buddy picked it up he saw the loose caliper and tightened it up. I haven't replaced the stripped hub flanges yet so the center diff has to be locked for it to drive. I've driven it a few miles just to see how the motor runs and transmission shifts, and it does great. It needs a lot of work, but it's now a running and driving project.So it's drivable or it isn't? I'm confused.
From what I understand the 700r4 is a mechanical version of the 4l60e. This one he had built up pretty good supposedly but I have yet to call the trans shop that built it and get specifics. This one shifts a little more harsh than a regular 4l60e. Why did you hate yours?Cool project and nice find. Funny the things that will make an owner abandon their project (I've done it myself, lol). My fj62 had a 700r4, fricken hated that transmission... maybe yours will be a little smoother.
