87 yota ext cab on a stock non ext frame?

The only thing I have EVER wished about my 87 single cab is that it was extended. Will the ext cab fit on my frame? Somebody in my area has one.

Thjanks!

Not right it won't. If you can weld and fab you can make anything fit. I've seen mustangs on bronco frames.

How can you think that they would fit .

if your going to make a flat bed and shorten the bed enough to fit on your frame .

It would not be more then several days to get all the mounts moved to where they need to go. Also repair anyother needed things as well.

your better off to just get an extended cab and take the goodies from your truck.

Having the know how and equipment to do this I think it would be a waste of time and money but people pay me to do dumb things all the time.

Perhaps get an extended Cab as a project and go from there.

I did a 3rd gen single to excab swap... I took 18 inches from the front of the bed, Had to relocate the gas tank and chop into the cab to go around the frame to keep it low as possible. Ended up making a flatbed and moving the hangers to the rear of the frame. All in all, love it. Great stance, the wheel base is the same as my 85 4runner with a bobbed bed.
