what series diff is it......i **think** it is a "E" series but u need to confirm this.
if it is an E series diff then the st141/rt142 avante disc rear end setup will bolt onto your diff.
u just remove the drum, drum brake and bering retainer plate..... and use the corona bearing retainer plate, internal hanbrake, calliper and disc.
i think thats how it goes.....sum1 correct me if im rong

hi-lux's do not have discs from factory on the rear, you can use *A70 series rear brakes or *Z30 series with some modification on the Hi-lux diff
and by MkII cressida what model do you meen?

find a diff from a corona avante (marginally better than average corona) and get a mechanic to swap over the disc brake setup onto your diff.
easy

st141 and rt142 are coronas
"S" means it has a S series engine, "T" is just the designated letter for coronas (just like "X" is for the cressidas)...."R" is the type of engine ....18R, 21R etc. and the numbers after (141 and 142) is a model code
just like your cressida code
MX62 (or similar) M X 62
R T 142
S T 141
^ ^ ^
engine chassis model code
