4x4 rocker panels on 2wd Pickup?

Hi,

I just picked up a 94 2wd Pickup to drive while I give my 91 Audi some much needed love this summer. The truck runs pretty well (motor is a little noisy) but being from the northeast is a little rusty. There are some front fenders for sale locally but they are from an 89' 4x4. I'm wondering if these would be a direct swap over to my 2wd pickup without any huge modifications. It looks like the headlight side markers are a different shape but I'm not sure. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also the ebrake just snapped and the shocks are pretty tired on all 4 corners. I'm looking for some good parts sources for this truck. I'm used to part swaps and online vendors seeing that most 20 yr old Audi parts a no longer available or not available at local parts stores. Can most parts be sourced through Napa, AutoZone, etc?

Thanks,

-Kevin

I've checked out toyotaminis.com. Not really interested in slamming my truck 1 inch off the ground instead I am more interested in technical information regarding my truck... which is why I registered here and not there. But thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes, the fenders are interchangeable.
Yes, the corner markers are different.
You will need the fenders, grill and corner markers. I'm not 100% on the grill but I remember a guy at Pick and Pull (who beat me to the fenders), put some 4x4 fenders on his 2wd, he said he needed the grill as well or maybe he needed to mod cut it down a bit. Can't remember.
I hope this helped.

Cheers,

You do not need a new grille just corner lights, fenders and fender brackets.

Thanks James... I appreciate the info. I would need to source the corner lights and fender brackets. If anyone has them feel free to chime in.

Thanks again,
