Look for posts here by surlynkid, he did a solid front axle swap on his T100.
You should also check over on pirate4x4.com in the toyota section. Surlynkid has more posts there in addition to the ones here on 4x4wire.com

A 60 will more than do. A lot use 44s. Spring widths are closer to the T100 framerails on a 44 than a 60, but still in the negotiable arena to fit a 60. A high pinion would be better, but you'd need it retubed. You'll need to figure out how to hang and steer whatever you choose, but the steering box is the same as in the Toyota mini sas recipe, so the correct length linkage is not hard to come by. The driveshaft, also, can be a lengthened '84 or '85.
There's 3 or 4 the search should turn up.

Just like Adam said. Not that hard to do now. You just need a fullsize chevy dana 44/60 and you will be all set.
Cheers
