Toyota Surf should have a LSD. You also need a EARLY Hilux diff as they are narrower (By about 4")

I think Profab (?) can do the diff housing . Weilding the brackets on isnt a do at home job. You need a jig .If you have a old forklift hydraulic shaft and an old diff centre, you are about 80% there.

OK ... its been decided. I\'m picking up a volvo 740 axle (Dana 1031)  thats been rebuilt and with a brand new plate type LSD ... let the narrowing commence :)  

Going to redrill for ford PCD and set the offset to suit at the same time as well (may as well they are cheap and plentifull)

Got some wheels and tyres for mockup as well ;)

axle is collected :) got to pull it appart to check it over but it should be spot on, all the seals and bearings are new and his a race/rally lsd from SAM Stefansson ... so it should be ideal, its even had a panhard rod bracket welded on in about the right place
