Where to find gears
JGRacing:
I am pretty new to Legends (do not even have a car yet), but wanted to know what Toyota vehicles I can find gears and carriers in for Legends cars. Can they be pulled from the correct vehicle in a junkyard, cleaned up, maybe put new bearings in, and weld the spider gears, or is it more complicated than that? I am changing over to Legends for next season, but wanted to start keeping an eye out for parts to start stocking up. I know that I can buy from parts dealers or on Ebay, but wanted to know what to look for if I come across something at the junkyard.

10 bolt Toyota rear end parts can be had from the wrecking yards.
Try these:
1974-79 Corolla SR5 w/5 speed
1984-87 Corolla GT-S
1971-85 Celica ST,GT
1971-73 Carina
1970-71 Corona 4 door
1972 Corona
1973-74 Corona HT Sedan
1975-82 Corona
Info is from "Dwarf Car Technology" by Steve Smith.
Hope this helps
Good Luck

You might want to look into buying a spool instead of welding the spider gears. It will make for a more reliable package. You'll also need to figure out what gear ratio you will need. I'll try to find the color codes for you and post them.

You will only be interested in the 10 bolt. The pinion nut will usually be painted a color. This should help identify the gears if they are still installed in the car.
Hope that helps

Thanks for all of the information. I appreciate it.
Will the gear out of all of these 10 bolts work, or do I need to worry about the number of splines like with a Ford 9"? Anything else I need to look for (ring gear size, bolt pattern, etc.)?
