      Do I have the foolies axle?

      You have the 5 lug axle. My guess is based on the dimensions I’m looking at, you’re going to be too heavy for single wheels.

       

      Axle swaps can run into thousands of dollars. It’s my understanding that replacement axle shafts are still available for that 3/4 ton axle. A less expensive option might be to replace the original shafts with new. It won’t be a full float, but will have the same safety factor as when your rig was new. Versus 40 year old shafts.

       

      Take your VIN to a Toyota dealership. Find out if those shafts are available where you live. You can also go to online Toyota parts dealers.

       

      It sounds like you’ve got your hands full with interior work. Good luck.

      OK good to know! Yeah there's a lot of interior (and mechanical) work to be done before I focus on the axle. If it stops snowing and warms up even a little I can do some more work on it. Until then it sitting in the field for another day! :)

      The rear wheel looks like a 5-lug non floater.  Not the greatest photo (distance and angle) of the rear wheel/axle, but that's what I'm seeing.  As suggested, go to a nearby scale and find out how much weight you have on the rear axle.

      Sounds good. Its not in drivable condition right now so I'll have to wait until I have it drivable
