Manual Hubs - Same body as 3rd gen (pre-tacoma) pickups?

I know the hubs are not interchangable but are the bodies the same with different internals?

Could I put my Tacoma hub internals into one from a 3rd gen pickup?

edit for confusion: By third gen pickup I mean the 1989-1995 Toyota pickup (Third generation), not 3rd gen tacoma.

Thanks but not quite what I'm looking for.

After looking through this thread I'm inclined to believe that they are the same but use a different clutch gear since the CVs have a different spline count.

 

Are you talking about something along the lines of this - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/free-wheel-hub-conversion-3rd-gen.513930/

 

I am talking about this portion of the manual hub



mine had a run in with the BFH while trying to remove the fucking cone washers

 

I believe the spline count is different inside the hub so it will not work.

The dial face is what’s intercompatible.

 

You mean on the drive gear, right? The question is if I can pick up a 3rd gen hub and replace the drive gear with the one from my Tacoma Aisin hub since it's a lot easier to find the older Aisin hubs.

 

I’m not sure, seems like a lot more trouble than it’s worth. Why don’t you just buy it new from Toyota? They’re relatively inexpensive and AISIN still manufactures it.

 

Taking apart the hub is trivial and I figured it could be worth it to save a few bucks. I'll have to call the stealership and see if they have one in stock.

 

Since you are talking pre Tacoma you could try on MUD : https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/95-older-toyota-truck-tech.22/
TW doesn't have a specific forum for pre 95 pickups.

 

Seems like I found the answer here: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/newb...ota-ifs-hubs-work-solid-axle.html#post3231810

early solid axle hubs and 85-95 IFS hubs are the same except for the clutch gear. Given that the Tacoma hubs appear to be the same as both, I think the early hubs would also work with a swapped in clutch gear
