Taco vs Pickup bed size?

Does anyone know if a canopy from a extended cab Tacoma will fit my extended cab truck? or does anyone have the outside measurements of a Taco box?
Thanks

Nope. Completely different.

I think the taco's have a 74.5" long bed, the 89-95 pickups have a 75" bed - so basically the same.

the bed sizes and dimensions are close enough for a camper topper to fit, however the beds are in no way interchangeable tailgate wise

There have been quite a few on here that have put Taco shells on pickups (89-95) and vice versa. They fit on the bed just fine. What isn't quite right is the angle to the back of the cab. Depends on how finicky you are with that. Also note that standard cabs have a straight up rear window and the Xtracabs slope more, so a canopy for a (lets say) '90 short bed doesn't look right on a '90 Xtracab even tho the bed itself is the same.
