Can I use a non toyota front axle on my 86

[bladerunner]

Hard up for a straight axle here in so. cal. finally when I have money no axles and when Im broke all kinds of front axles suddenly for sale. My question is this, can I use a different front axle instead of a toyota axle?
GM, jeep or older ford, maybe even dodge?

If you're keeping your stock drivetrain you need to make sure its passenger side drop and close to the same width as your rear axle unless you don't care aout being noticably wider up front
