Will an 89-95 bed fit an 87 body? If so what other problems might I run into. Also does anyone think it might look a little wierd with the different body lines?

I search but really couldn't find what I was looking for.

 

mine has a 92 bed and it bolts up fine, i didnt put it on, and it has some rear body work.

 

and my trucks an 88, cant poast pics for some reson but i have pics on my album

 

If you've got an address bar, you can post a link to the pics...

If you've got FireFox and it's in your album, then you can right click and copy image location then paste that in the insert image box..

 

what he said, would like to see pics.

 

said invalid url but i got em up, had to re name them

 

the pasenger side has no body work on it,

 

surprisingly it doesn't look that bad. body lines almost line up.

 

yea, all the bed mounts line up to so you should be good.

 

Tacoma bed swap. enough said.

 

that would be good too, but I found a bed around here the guy only wants $250 for it.

 

thats not bad, i found 1 to but he wants 500, i bought my truck for 200 bucks mor than that lol

 

wish you guys were closer, i got an 84-88 short box complete, straight and no rust, just needs paint, and i cant give it away for 100.00 out here!!!!!

 

gonna bump this for one more question, is there a big difference between the 4wd and 2wd versions of these beds? I know there is a difference in the front fenders but unsure as to what and how much. Thanks.

 

I'm thinking the only real difference are the body lines. The 4wd had bigger wheel flares than the 2wd, which looks better. But i have seem many 2wd trucks with the 4wd style beds and surprisingly they are in better condition than the 4wd in regards to rust cancer. Too bad i could never find a 2wd with the 4wd style bed in any of the junkyards.

 

it will swap as suggested above .. 6 of the 8 bolt mounts line up .. and tail lamp pigtails are the same . Fuel filler is different , but if you can get the original filler tube , it makes things much easier . the bed itself is larger/wider then the stock unit .. it will stick out on each side about 1/2 " when centered .. and with the mount pads eliminated , you can get the body lines to be close ...

thanks for the input guys, gonna keep searching for a 4wd bed.

 

gross, but yeah a 89-95 bed will fit a 84-88 truck...

is it me, or dose the wheel base not match up in the rear end, ie the 84-88 is shorter than the 89-95.

Other than that the body lines match up a little better than I thought.
