Importing an older double-cab?
First post!
Is there a way to get an older (84-88) double cab into the U.S.? Or, has anyone tried to fab thier own?
The 2001's and newer Tacoma quad-cabs are too expensive for my plans. I searched Google for days and found very little. Just some good photos.
Any input? Thanks.

Yes, it's possible. Bud @ Budbuilt imported 1/2 a cab from OZ a few years ago. I had an OZ cab lined up via JD (thanks again, JD!) in '01 but the wrecker ended up damaging it before shipment.
Expect to pay $2-3K for a good cab. Expect another $2-3K for shipping. Yes, you read that right... 2-3K for shipping. Then add another $1K or so to make it work/get it painted, etc.
I gave up after the cab was damaged and the (then) wife found out how much it was going to cost to ship.
Good luck!
