Derek up North Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Standard Toyota rims (14" or 15") will place the load relative to the bearings just the way Toyota intended. 20mm offset, if you trust the info on this site. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/toyota/pickup/1985/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Linda, Derek, Thanks again for the info. Today and the weekend is mostly going to be taken up with house projects, but I will digest all this starting next week. I should ask though, in regards to the axle that I am now not going to buy. What would be the best way on this site to disseminate the info. I won't post the gentleman's personal information, but if anyone is interested in buying it, I will certainly do what I can make sure the connection gets made. It's a 1 ton full float axle, differential, springs and all four rims. Came from an 80s Toyota Fleet Truck, what ever that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Where's the axle located? He could always post a free ad in the Classified section. I suppose a 'Fleet' truck would be a box truck like U-Haul used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amendez Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hello there, I just purchase a 1980 Toyota motorhome and I just find out the rear axle has not been replace, does any Toyota dealer will replace it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Sorry, you are out of luck. The recall was against the RV Mfg NOT against Toyota. The last known RV Mfg that had some axles was National. They recently had a garage sale and got rid of the remaining ones. You need to start the wrecking yard craw. UHaul had some Toyota box trucks so look for them too.
