What diff is this?

[Robad]

I just purchased a 7/77 FJ40 project that someone let get run down and am now working through it but I'm stumped as to what kind of rear end this rig has in it. It seems like a 9-1/2" Toyota diff but it has 8 lug hubs. If any one has any idea what this is it would help.

looks like an Eaton rear end. Usued in some old Chevys.

Have fun with all those shocks. Must be one hell of a stiff ride.

Mods like this indicate a high probability that your bezel is upside down.

Hey, Butch. Look at me, I'm a Junior! Check out my re arch pics on the 60 forum. Hope you guys in Big D are still having fun. Hope this helps with your diff question. By the way, my project looks a lot like yours.

OK, I'll bite, seen it before but have no idea what it means...

Yes it is. I have a picture of another one someplace. I have an exra one if you need it!! We swapped in a Dana 60.

Can't help with the rear end question, but it seems that's been covered anyway.

Just had to chime in because I actually laughed OUT LOUD, AT WORK when scrolling through stayalert's little bezel snap.

I was into 55 Chevy's in the 70's, 65-66 Mustangs in the 80's Started the Cruiser obsession in 1988
So no, I can honestly say I have never created a bad Cruiser........did put square headlights on a 65 Mustang once though, WTF was I thinking?

Thanks for all the responses. I've started a website to log the progress of the beast. It has some more pictures of it as I brought it home. I'm almost finished with a complete rewire job on it. The webpage link is http://www.landcruiser.netfirms.com

Wow!! You should pick up that FJ55 with the funky paint and you'd have a pair.

My buddies got a candy apple red 65 'stang hardtop with the original 289 redone a little, otherwise stock resto.

Its probably not quite like the ones I bet you built, but it'll lay a good wheel and its a loooot of fun.

Still want to know what it means....

I'm almost certain it is an Eaton, since it is 8 lug, a guy in our club has one in his LC with a Dana 60 up front.
what egine/trans tcase does it have?

lmao is laughing my ass off

eaton, center drop out, suppose to be able to swap with 14 bolt axles and have a really nice axle without the 14b center chunk draggin ass. But the truss on that one doesnt help.

parts will be hard, and expensive to find, used spares !!!!!!
