While I haven't use one, I have been told and seen that a Toyota 4x4 box from late 70's to early 80's does what you want. A lot of people forget or don't know that Toyota copied most of there designs from early Chevy and GMC trucks and made improvements. The 235 chevy and 228 gmc engines are a good example of that. The Toyota head for the FJ is almost identical to a 235 and the rocker arms are almost identical to the 228, 248 GMC engines.

I have seen a picture of the Toyota setup and it is far from a perfect fit
Offset by an inch or so double u-joint coupler
could be better
I am talking about something like the units available for the 55 cars that is power a bolt on and works

The trucks had a similar unit like the cars. They are very hard to find but they are around.
