Could someone get the following measurements for me?

Width at the top opening from outside bedside to outside bedside
Width at the top opening from outside roofline to outside roof line
Height from roof to bedside.

As much as I'm NOT trying to be a smart alleck, the dimensions should be pretty close to your sheet metal dimensions.

BUT, if that doesn't suit, and no one gives you an answer by the weekend, I could zip the bolts out and slide my top back right quick for a few measurements.

The difficult dimension would be top width. With that corner radius, it would be difficult to establish a viable reference point without "guessing" a point of quadrant intersection. By quadrant intersection I am referring to the point in which the top edge curve turns into a line (or broad arc realistically) and thus this point would be one's interpretation of where quadrant intersection is (not to be confused with tangent intersection, because the side of the truck/top is not completely vertical).

All that aside, I am willing to help this Saturday, should your question be unanswered.

You don't say what year.. Obviously afirst gen but I dunno if they're all the same..



I'd suggest if you're trying to fab something from a photo, don't. have someone trace out a template on cardboard. It can be done, and be done with the info I posted and a good 3d program and some photos, good luck!

Not trying to make anything from it, just found that picture and it works the best for showing what I'm asking. Don't need measurements down to a t just within an inch or so. I don't know of anyone in the area with one to check.

Well ballparking it with the known dimension of the shoulder (51.25") from the body measurments using my caliper on the monitor..
135mm = 51.25"
height 64mm converts to 24.25"
head 117mm converts to 44.5"
bed 150mm converts to 57"

I'm cutting the back of my tacoma cab out and wanted to see if the top flange from a 4runner could be fitted so I can use a 4runner top. Custom soft top will be a lot easier in the long run
