hi, im new to this site and i have a 87 toyota pickup and i am restoring the box, it's rusty but not to bad. Over the last couple of weeks i have been piecing in metal to get rid of the rusty areas. I was wondering if anyone know of any replacement steel parts for these boxes. Or if i can take a box floor replacement for an 89 and not have to much fabricating to do to make it work for my truck. I could use new inside wheel wells too.
thanks for the help, nick

 

your fighting a loosing battle ..

these beds are a "lap welded" .. you can only save them for a while , then they will rust again ..

in my opinion .. Your wasting your time and money !

Ya, it's best to either find a donor bed or start building a lightweight flat-bed. It's a long battle fighting the rust on these beds. When mine gets too bad I'll definitely be putting on some sort of flat-bed or tube bed.
