Ok I need a different axle for the Celica when it gets the 1UZ in around May.
A MK1 Supra axle would be great, but they are hard to come by and are 4 bolt wheels anyway.
A Toyota pickup axle would be good cause it is the same size as the Supra, and 5 bolt. But it is made for leaf springs and I would have to build or cut and weld the brackets on. Ugh...Do-able though.
Or.....drum roll....
Mid-late 80's Toyota Van! lol No joke. 5-bolt axles in the same housing as a Supra or pickup (7.5" ring I recall...7.-somethin) but it is coil and link! Coil ad link it what my Celica and the early Supras are! lol
The beauty of it....caught me today....I was at the you-pull-it here and saw two recently brought in Toy Vans. Side by side, 5-lug a 4wd and a 2wd.
I need to go back tomorrow to get a tail light, I am ganna investigate and see what they want for a axle.
Even better---some uncommon models got disc brakes and a LSD in the rear lol!
Here is the model in question...
