Difference between 2WD and 4WD boxes?

Does anyone know if a box from a 2WD truck will fit on a 4WD frame? My inner box is shot to and I need to replace it. Found a guy selling a whole 2WD truck for dirt cheap. Not worth it to me if I have to do major fab to get it to fit, though.

What about the doors? I need doors too.. my rig's in hard shape :/

Thanks

edit: I should add my truck's a 94 and the donor is an 89.

Both the doors and the pickup bed will be a direct swap over.

yes, they are the same.

some 2nd gen 2wd's had the hilux style bed (one with the tie downs on the side). but i believe they would still bolt up. all 3rd gens are the same.

Goddamnit. I drove for half an hour to get there and I roll up to a rusty piece of junk 1987 long box. I knew it was too good to be true

So often, i've found, "Mint Condition" means 'rusted beyond recognition'.
