Just to clarify what WT said, assuming it's a stock drum-brake axle (I have no doubt that it is), it will have 6-spline outers (and 4.10 gears in case he didn't already know).
Pull off the knuckle. If it's got birfields, that's a good thing because it means that you can pull those weak birfields out and put on truck ones. In that case, everything from the birfield/knuckle out from a disc-brake truck (or 79-90 Land Cruiser) axle will bolt on. Steering will have to be addressed since the arms are different, but if he's starting from scratch anyway, that's not a big deal. Maybe not worth $200, but not a horrible deal either if it's otherwise in good shape.
If, on the other hand, it's got ball-and-claw axles, he's got more work ahead. That means it's pre-68 and he got ripped off. He'd need the inner axles from a newer (69 - 84) FJ40 or FJ55, along with the differential side gears (or locker) to match. Then all the later stuff mostly bolts up. There are still a few other quirks, like the third member retaining studs are smaller than later years, etc.
It definitely has a coarse-spline pinion. Technically, it's a weak point, but so few of them actually break on sanely-driven rigs that I wouldn't be in a hurry to swap it out.
