I do remember people mentioning swapping a Toyota truck axle to the Volvo. But, howwoudl you do that for a 700/900? Specifically, what do you do with the speedo sending unit?

IIRC, the toyota rear axle tubes didn't need to be shortened to fit in a 240...the lack of disc brakes would be the deal-killer in my book.

What would I need to use Volvo rear wheels and disks and rotors with 8.8?

I want to say it was MH Yount(?) that cut the ends off the Volvo rear end and welded them to the 8.8 on his car. This way he kept the ebrake assembly as well as the rear brakes.
New axles would be needed for the Volvo wheel bearing and Ford 31 spline diff.
