I think it should fit but not sure if the driveshaft pinion flange is a match. if your going to a Tacoma axle you could also use Tacoma wheels which are 15 inches. That's why I post the second tire. Still only 27 inches in diameter like Fred said. By the way maybe you should try calling these places. Around 200 miles from you but in the world of axle searching that's not far. These are for the correct Toyota full floater. As far as Derek not thinking there is a heavier axle you should know that Toyota's max weight rating for the 1 ton single wheel truck is exactly the same as the full floater in all years.

linda s Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Ask if they have the wheels. Your going to need the true duallys that came on the full floater. 6 x 7.25 lug size Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred heath Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Be sure to measure your wheel wells front to back. My 27” number works for my mh. Not sure if all manufacturers have the same dimensions. I believe the 185’s are about 25 3/4” diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boondockit Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Ok, I’m so happy to get all this advice, but I am just getting more confused as each post turns a corner into a different result and that’s likely me just being a noob, I’m not getting a clear understanding of the final solution... the tacoma idea seems to be squashed by Linda because of rear diff and gearing the axle in the link In Wisconsin looks good but the last post from Linda seems to say that now I need to go to ff true duallys can I get a final solution explained with slightly noobie phrasing? im so sorry, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Ok, that’s my start, so if duallys then obviously true ff axle how hard is that going to be? How rare? if possible, what axles will work? (Year and model if possible) (6 bolts right?) (one ton?) any and all particulars and absolutes will be very helpful in my search, I am VERY grateful for everyone and I know nobody owes me answers, I am just at the end of the line where I will have to sell this for much less than I paid because I will be morally obligated to disclose the axle danger (which I would have wanted the chance to know before I bought it)...

Linda is great for finding parts. She’s very knowledgeable about these old Toys. Plan to spend about 2K for the swap (conservative estimate). You’re much more honorable then the prior seller. Although in his/her defense, they may have been unaware of the axle issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Linda S has given me a lot of hope, I’m currently scouring online and having almost no luck on a dually axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 4 hours ago, Derek up North said: Yup I was wrong but not until 1989. Until then the 1 ton and the dually both had GVWR of 5500 lbs. In 1989 the dually models jumped to 6000 lbs but the 1 ton only went up to 5600 lbs. Weird isn't it and this is Toyota specs from a brochure. I can't copy and paste that page though.
