body swap ??'s
so right now i have std. cab pick-up i am planing on doing a 4.3 swap with some other goodies. my issue is i want more room in my cab. i want to either swap a ext cab or a 4runner body and do the bed mod on it. has any one ever done this kinda swap on a std cab short bed or should i just look for another 4runner or ext cab and swap my gear over.

boy are we on the same page. 4.3 and need more room. Im planning on cuting out the rear of my standard cab and extending it. the lower halve will be new sheet metal worked into the tube bed. the upper halve will be a softtop. so i can take the top off in the summer. im working with a sammie rear seat that fits between the frame rails. its a big project in the makeing. i dont have any pictures just a plan.

I did this to an 88/87, ext cab on shorty frame. I had to move the rear cab mounts back 9", cut off the forward bed mounts. Cut the bed 9". I had to modify the gas tank to fit under the cab. I also had to put a 1" body lift for clearance over the horse collar on the frame. Other than that it was just unbolt and move. Not sure what is different with the 90's generation. Good luck!
