toy guys help me out here

[sparkn89]

got some old (dunno how old) toyota axles drums on front. i think they are land cruiser axles the back is offset to the same side as the front. are they worth anything. can i use them on a truck and can i do away with the drums? they look shorter than a truck but im not sure. any help would be great.

Pre 74 cruiser axles. You can't use them under a truck without a lot of modications but you can switch the front to disc using stock 79-85 mini truck front axle parts.

Pre-76, actually, IIRC..

But like he said.. Rob a minitruck axle for everything except the inner shafts, housing, and third member.

ok thanks guys. but i dunno much about the toys what year makes it a mini?

79-83 is a mini or first gen. Second gen (don't think it's considered a mini) is 84-88. '84 might work too, but not sure.

'79-85
