The diff heads are the same but the diff housings are different widths, and the 40 series diffs have a different bolt spacing on the driveshaft flange to the 60 and 70 series :mrgreen:

Not all 40 and 60 flanges are different. The flanges are the same on my 83 FJ40 and an 86 FJ60 I wrecked....

yes. the 40 diff head will bolt into a 60 housing and vice versa,as mentioned some drive flanges are different bolt spacing depending on year. the later model 40's have the same fine spine pinion as the 60's so you can swap the flanges over if needed.
