They’re all 16’. Is that foil label a Toyota label or a Champion label? If Champion, it did come with single wheels. You’re lucky if it did. You...
That’s correct. Your Galavan originally came with foolies. Someone must of changed to singles at some point. You could add a sway bar for...
There was a factory recall on the 3.0 for bad head gasket. The VIN should be checked to see if the work was done. Not sure if it can be fixed now...
You’re light enough to go single tire (that’s what I did). I found an early GM truck axle to be a perfect fit and restore the rear track to the...
That’s the same axle Toyota provided for replacement of the foolie axle. Everyone who’s done the swap has never mentioned a fitment issue with the...
Spring perch’s need to be adjusted to fit your frame rails. Other than that it’s a pretty straight forward installation. I’ve never done it...
Most early Toyota thread has a 1.25 pitch. So either M8x1.25 or M10x1.25. Depending if it’s a nominal 5/16 or 3/8.
The replacement axles are known as full float. All the weight is carried by the housing. The only thing the axle shafts do is turn the wheels....
This would only make the problem worse. I’ll try to explain what happened with the foolies. With a semi float axle the weight is transferred to...
There were companies (or maybe still are) that made conversation kits to change semi float axles to full float. They never caught on, and were...
Toyota didn’t offer a full float dually in 1976. The GO82 3/4 ton axle was the strongest one available. All the commercial cab and chassis’s sold...
Well you’re alone in your diagnosis. All the facts I’ve presented are easily verified by an online search. Or read the article below....
The setup is UNSAFE. This is why they had a federal recall on foolie axles. The axle by itself is plenty strong. Adding the extra tire put more...
Same problem. The extra width extending out from the hub puts the load to the outside of the bearing. Over time this causes metal fatigue on the...
Those are factory spacers. There’s nothing that will replace them, and you don’t want to. They’re known as “foolies”. To carry the extra weight...
Any wire that grounds to the frame should be cleaned up. On my truck, if you follow the negative wire from the battery to the frame you’ll find a...
Clean and retighten your battery connections. It takes a major short to melt a fusible link. Not by simply trying to start the truck in gear....
Should be easy to fabricate. My chassis is too dirty and greasy to get a decent picture.
It looks like you’re missing a frame mount (empty hole). On my 1978 this piece is attached [ATTACH] to the top of the frame rail. Yours appears...
Backyard repair. My hinge at the bottom of the pedal completely rotted away. Rather than try to find a replacement, I attached the pedal to a 6”...
