Here is something interesting info, stupid internet, if its online it must be true lol: REF: http://tomzizzo.hubpages.com/hub/Tip...d-camper-shell
From 1989 to 1994, the basic Toyota truck, referred to by some as the SR5, didn’t change much, except for the addition of a third brake light in 94, something I already talked about. Before 1989, the 1984 to 88 trucks, are essentially the same as the 1989 to 1994, as far as the bed is concerned, however some may have what is called a ‘Japanese’ bed, meaning the bed rails roll to the outside. Think of it like this, on literally any truck today, you can only access the underside of a bed rail from the inside of the bed, a ‘Japanese’ bed is only accessed from the outside. I will admit I don’t know much about what will fit these types of beds since by the time I started selling camper shells these trucks were fairly old and I rarely saw one come into the shop looking for a shell.

Same things fit just needs a different mount than the standard clamps probably no option but to drill the rail like on the older style beds which were all rolled to the outside. There is actually a currently active thread "what is this bed" or some similar title, it shows those beds.
Don't recall if you posted a more accurate location than just PA. But here is used one that outta fit, just your truck is the wrong color
(Subtext: plenty of these on the local craigslist where ever you happen to be. And always at a steep discount.)
PS. live cargo in the camper shell is a big no no. Exhaust poisoning hazard. You'll want the grommet/gasket and need to run the climate control on exterior intake to pump fresh air out the back windows.
