I happen to have a set of instructions with full schematics for fitting Fairey to a landcruiser 3 speed box. Shouldnt be too much different and it may give you some valuable pictures and info.
If your interested P.M me with your email address and I will send it to you in PDF format.

The Fairey comes off the back of the transfer and can be removed easy enough and swapped to your truck.
Great concept, when working are great, but they are weak as piss on the Toyota ( originally made for gutless old series Landrovers.)
The 5 speed conversion is a more reliable option
