Alright - I've done some research on swapping z calipers with toyota truck calipers and it seems like a pretty easy worth while swap, particularly as my 93' toyota 4x4 truck just blow a head gasket, is too rusty to be worth fixing so I'm going to part it out and I just put new calipers on it about 6 months ago. My question is, from what I've read, people say to need calipers off eariler model trucks - does anyone know if this is true? From the pictures I've seen, the eariler calipers appear to be nearly the same as the later model ones. Suppose I could just try mounting them, be thought it couldn't hurt to ask and save myself the effort. Thanks -

Go Here and read. It's all there.

I'm getting ready to swap mine over as well.

Read the link Derek posted. it has all the info on toyota calipers.

But basically:

If your 93 toyota had vented discs, its not a straight swap, you will need to get vented discs.

There were some old toyots that had solid discs and the calipers from those were a straight swap onto the s30 with no need to change the disc.

You'r probably thinking of the 84' Toyota Truck Non vented rotors. Not sure what the year range is for that particular rotor.

I have the 84 non-vented rotor calipers on my 70. Direct bolt up, if I remember correctly.
