Toyota Knuckle Differneces

[sam24th]

I recently broke the studs in my solid axle toyota (84 pickup). Looking to replace the knuckle to another factory one instead of six shooters because of cost. Are landcruiser knuckles the same and work? Or are there major differences I should know about?

I'm not certain but I believe the FJ60 knuckles are the same. However, I have my '85 knuckles laying around after getting 6 shooters, if you want one or both, hit me up and make an offer.

Im also not sure on this, but i'm pretty sure they are different.

I did some googling and FWIW it seems that some if not all FJ40 and 60 knuckles are the same as the mini truck knuckles. It looks like some earlier cruiser knuckles had a smaller steering arm stud pattern. I didn't feel like reading enough for the specifics though :blah:
