Yes, they have a T series diff so if you can find a T series LSD centre it will bolt right in. Good luck though - this is the same diff that all the Celica and Sprinter boys want, but they're bloody hard to find these days! Your other option is a complete rear end swap, eg Hilux.

Should cost you $100-150 for an early Hilux rear end (complete from drum to drum) which will be pretty close to the same width as the Corona rear end. They have an open diff centre, but an LSD centre from a later model Hilux will be around $4-500. Getting it fitted shouldn't cost much since the RT104 has a leaf-sprung rear end (from memory), so pretty much any suspension shop should be able to do it for you. I'd guesstimate a few hundred bucks tops for that. You may need a different tailshaft flange to match the G series diff, but that will cost bugger-all from a tailshaft shop.
One downside to this swap is all Hilux's have 5-stud hubs. You can convert it to 4-stud but that means extra dollars. Another option is to find a Corona MkII rear end which has an F series open diff. Installing it will be much the same as the Hilux conversion, but it's 4-stud so you don't have to worry about that part. F series LSD centres are a bit harder to find than G series, but with enough searching you should be able to get one. They're certainly a lot easier to find than a T series centre, and heaps stronger to boot!

I can't remember is the RT104 leaf spring rear end?
Bracket centre to bracket centre for the Hilux rear end is exactly 1000 mm if that's any help.

OK good. Measure your centre of leaf distance in the RT104 - if it is 1000 mm, the hilux diff will bolt right in. You will then need to modify your tailshaft (shorten it slightly). Also you will have a 5 stud rear end, but it is a Ford PCD so wheels will be a cinch to find. You'll also have to do something clever with the handbrake cable.

Jeez all that trouble to put an lsd in! I have one word for you man, LOCKER! lol

No, you don't have an RT104 if it has the Misfire engine. And why are you dragging out these old threads?
