Just bought an 87 ext cab pickup off here and I want to do a solid axle swap on it! I'm looking for the front axle out of a 79-85' toyota 4x4. I'd love the entire front end but of not the axle will do and I'll but a full conversion kit. Also looking for extra parts in general including a solid bed! Mine is a bit rusty and has some holes here and there. Even if it's just surface rust, I'd love a solid bed. Thanks in advance for any help yall - H

Hold out for an axle out of an '85 they're better candidates for swaps.

It's actually easier to swap cabs/beds onto a solid axle frame than install a SAS kit. 99% is direct bolt on, possibly some minor fitting of fuel tank and lines (carb to EFI conversion) & brake lines but no cutting, grinding, welding needed.

It can be completed without special tools or any help, an easy 2 weekend driveway project.
 
Yeah the 85's have the extra truss under the bottom of them. Problem is, there are only so many 85's floating around out there lol Id love to luck into a front/rear set thats already been set up but that's unrealistic lol


Also I didn't think about doing that...that might be the best idea. Finding a SA model and just swapping everything over
