Front to rear diff centre swap on a 80 series

[DavidM]

Is this possible?
Reason is I'm chasing lockers and air lockers are out of the budjet and Richmond Gears in the USA no longer manufacture 'Powertrax Lockright' lockers for the LSD centre on cruisers (Rang them last week). The front is available (part no 1610), so I'm curious if the open diff centre can replace the rear, then I could buy 2 fronts and another centre for the rear.
Any suggestions & help appreciated.
Also 4WD Systems no longer produce the 'Lokka' for the rear LSD

no it's not possible.. the front is hilux sized (8 inch ring gear) the rear is cruiser size (about 9 inch ring gear)

a 40 - 60 - or 75 series center will fit the rear, why not get one of those and put the locker in that?

If you have a part timer, you can put alocker in the front, which will make a huge difference by itself....if it is full time, you need a arb....best thing about them is they strengthen up a weak spot in the 80 drveline...with a solid centre to support the gears....you will find secon hand arb's around.

Thanks Andrew. Yes she is a part timer. Would have gone air lockers front/rear, however purchasing the lockrights from the USA for AU$370 each, new delivered to my door.

Can anyone advise how late did Toyota produce the 60 & 75 series with a open rear diff, if I still decide to go the rear lockright way & swap diff centres.
