Exactly the same. The only body difference is the front fenders, side markers, and front end..

Are the wheel wells the same cut? I am just worried that the factory tires were smaller on the 2wd, and that there wont be enough space for my 13's

The front fenders where a little smaller and not flared. The bed is the exact same 2wd-4wd I always thought it wierd that toyota put a flared bed on the 2wd... oh well, easier for us to get parts

Speaking of third gen truck beds, I saw a mag the other day called "readers rides" On the cover was an 83. I tilted my head trying to figure out why it looked weird. I started reading aboot the truck itself and the guy apparently put a 3rd gen bed on it...The article said "Bed fit perfectly and looks great too"...

There's a local 1986 extra cab with a 1995 box on it. It kind of confused me at first, but I figured it out. It looks quite good I must say.

aha!

found em...





IMO, the body lines don't match up too well...

I don't like the way the front fender's are squared, and then the backs are rounded... but I'm picky about things like that

See its weird, Because the Line that goes back actually sorta matches going back to the bed, But im with you on the fender sitch. What did he have to do to the bed to get it to mount, Or was it just a drop on job...?
