I believe it is 79 & up had the short body hub to accomodate the longer birf. I can measure and post a picture tomorrow if that would help.

I have some spares off an 86 and 84
Cool, I'll measure tomorrow just to confirm. I didn't know there were short body hubs until yesterday either, when I took a spare off my 1978 parts truck to put on my 1980 and it didn't fit. Learned with a little research on Mud.

Good to know! Sounds good
I think, other than a couple transition years in late 70's, disk break hubs are all short.
Difference was a slightly longer outer shaft in those years.
. I made spacers once to accommodate, but unless you have late 70's shafts ....should fit.

The one picture is a little blurry but you can see the axle is to short to get the lock ring on with the long body hub. Short I measure at 1 3/4 in. and the long at 2 3/16. Hopefully it wasn't something specific to the later FJ45's and front drum brakes.

Looks right Steve, I'm in no hurry for it and I won't be town until spring. Can I get in touch when I know I'm coming down? Unless I here of somebody else that is coming to PG in the meantime?

My 77 45 had long bodied ASIAN/ASCO Hubs on it.
My 76 disc brake axle also has them. I think they were used for 76,77, and perhaps part of 78. The ASIAN long Bodied hubs are somewhat rare, although not many particularly want them. I plan to use the ones I've got because I've got long birfields and two spares. There's no reason for me to swap to the shorter Birfs... what I've got works.

Did you happen to keep the sway/stabilizer bar and still have it floating around?
I am not certain but I think the 55 and 45 used the same stabilizer bar. I have a couple if that is the case.

Yes I have read that 55 45 and the 40s that came with it are all the same. trade you for the hub?
Done deal. Well, in the spring when I come down there I mean

Sounds good!
No that is long gone, it was dumped in the middle of my lawn and became lawn ornament until the farm manager(wife) had seen enough of it and I had to make it go away.

Hey guys, we have a really helpful thread right here! parts and accesorries are circulating around more than ever!
But, it would be best if we start to send PM (personal messages) instead of chatting on this thread. it keeps it cleaner and easier for people to browse through the thread without having to skip back multiple pages. comments add up quick.
All other threads are fair game for the usual banter and discussion.
Cheers guys
