11 Spline

Pony-boy · Jun 20, 2009

I have an axle that looks like a Yota rear,
Has Yota looking Drums
Yota 3rd.

I am wondering what axle it is because it has an 11 spline
pinion shaft.

If it is Yota what year is it, and out of what Truck?

Offset pumpkin??? Sounds like you may have an FJ housing...I believe the early stuff had 11 spline pinions...There's upgrades to 30spline (IIRC) for em. If it is offset pumpkin, I'm interested in it...:awesomework:

In 78-79 they went to fine spline pinions from the factory, all the aftermarket gear sets for Cruisers are fine spline also so it is pretty easy to get rid of the course spline stuff.

You sure about that? I have worked on a lot of fj's and every one that was 76 and up was fine spline...

Everything I have read has said that, but it could be '76...

Hi All:

Land Cruisers used coarse (ten) spline pinion shafts up to 1978 in the US-market vehicles. 1979 and newer had fine-spline pinions (30 spline?)

Bear in mind that the 1968 and older Land Cruisers used ten-spline axle shafts, while the 1969 and newer trucks had 30-spline 'shafts.

Regards,

Alan

If its sixlug its probaly a early GM truck rear. Similar looking dropout. Whered it come from? whats the pinion flange/yoke look like?

It sounds like you might have a 78' or older course spline 2wd pickup 8" rear diff (yes they did make them), most were 7.5" but there were a few 8" rears also in different ratios in the 3.**-4.** range and they will bolt into the 8", 4wd front and rear housings.

5 or 6 lug??? Post up a pic if you can...that ought to help us all out tryin' to figure this puzzle out!!!:haha:

Picture would help a ton. There were centered Land Cruiser axles from '57ish to '63 that would have had the 10-spline pinion. The parts would all be similar to a truck axle (but bigger) and there would be a removable diff cover.
