I was wondering what diffrent makes of beds would fit an 88 toyota. Thanks

 

When you say "makes", do you mean you are looking at other beds from ford or chevy? I wouldn't recomend the ford swap if thats what your doing. If you have the money, a member on here named Corey makes real nice fiberglass beds for an 88. But if your on a budget like me. Get yourself a 89-95 bed.

Heres mine after the swap

^ Even finding an '89-95 bed sucks. I've been looking and can't find any in my area. I need a new bed pretty bad.

I've been thinking of one of your FG beds, but I'm not sure of the future for this truck. I can't justify spending $2k on something that I might 4 link in the future, especially when the truck is only worth about that much.

I almost had a bed locally for $200 with zero rust, but someone beat me to it. It was my color (black) too.

 

I was wondering about other makes and years like Ford Ranger or S10 and so on.

 

I have heard rumors of ranger beds fitting to some extent but I do not know if it is true.

 

What about a bed off a Tacoma? There should be lots in the scrapyards now due to the frame recall. I know the filler door is on the wrong side but do the mounts and body lines line up?

 

a tacoma bed would work on a extra cab

 

That looks ok I guess, but the body lines are way off or you didn't put the body lift in the rear yet.

 

79-83 bed fits with mininmal mods , but body lines dont match
89-95 beds fit with 6 of 8 holes lining up this bed is 1.5" wider then stock , and lines "sorta " fit
Tacoms bed .. just looks dumb !!

ranger beds fit with major mods and fuel filler is on the wrong side .
nissan beds fit 4 of 8 bolts , no body lines match

i know this is an old post, but i'm using search ;-)
what about the 84-85 beds? i have a 1991 single cab, and i found an 85 extracab with a flatbed. i bet the extracab is gonna rule this out as a straight swap, but would a regular 84-85 bed fit?
will the flatbed off the extra cab fit? thanks

 

the cab length dosnt matter (with out getting to a crap load of detail) .. its the frame and bed length that you need to consider

there are 2 lengths ..... short beds , and long beds . interchange , short to short , long to long

get a fiberglass bed from a chevy s10, only prob is it has to bed step side, it bolts right up...

 

Pics?

 

Holy thread that wouldn't die batman.

 

Where is this fabled chap that makes said fiberglass beds for 88?

 

here !

 

Not to derail a 12 year old thread....but...
I looked at your fiberglass site and am glad these replacement parts exist.

I see you have 82-83 front bumper end caps and I wonder if you may have rear bumper end caps for the year '86.

I know I'm looking for the unicorn that belongs to Bigfoot, just thought I'd ask.

 

Not Yet ! , but I just secured a bumper , so I will be building the ends .
