2nd gen 4runner to 4 door flatbed pickup

I'm new to this forum although I have been lurking around for a few years looking at it. I did this project last spring and I'm currently in the middle of a 3.4 swap in it now. This is my 2nd attempt at posting the first one failed.

Very clean! Nice job man. I have thought about doing this myself. What cab did you use to mate to the back?

I used the rear of a second gen regular cab pickup. That way I had the seat belt posts to work with. Sold the tailgate off the 4runner for $100 bucks on craigslist and bought the cab from local salvage yard for $100. I doesn't match perfect but with some trimming and patching it works out good. If you decide to do this let me know and I can give you some advice on cutting the fender wells of 4 runner and the fuel door.

I can only guess this was one of those I wonder if I could do this.

One of those projects unless it was built for a special purpose .

Put a job box on the back haul 4 people to job site rather than be crushed in a regular pick up.
