Canopy Shopping - What size?

Canopy Shopping - What size?
Hey there,
I've got a 1995 Toyota Tacoma with the regular cab, and I want to get a canopy so I can keep my stuff dry and secure during the winter. I found a canopy on Craigslist that sounds perfect, except I have one question.
The canopy is for a 1990 Extended Cab. Will it fit?
And for the fun of it, Here's a picture of the canopy in question:
And here's a picture of my truck (show and tell):
Thanks a lot!

Your light bar will have to take an exit.
The topper might work, but I think that it will look odd. The 3rd gen Xtra cabs had a slight slope to the rear window. I believe that your standard cab is fairly straight up and down at the rear window. If it does fit, you are probably going to have a weird gap at the back of the cab, and, possibly, some rubbing at the top.
I would suggest that you keep an eye out on Craigslist for one that came off another standard cab Taco. That way, you'll have one that you know fits, and it will also match the body lines of your truck better.

Yes - both the 1989 - 1995 and 1995.5+ PreTaco and Tacoma trucks had a slight forward 'rake' or 'slope' to the XtraCab back wall, while the Regular Cab back wall was vertical.
The PreTaco and Taco bed dimensions are close enough that you can reasonably swap canopies between these series of trucks, but the fitment is not precise.
A Regular Cab canopy on an XtraCab will leave a noticeable gap. An XtraCab canopy on a Regular Cab might touch against the cab, depending on the manufacturer / design.

-as long as you get a reg cab canopy you are fine.
for what it is worth I also ran a canopy off a short bed ranger ('90) for several years. the bed dimensions are basically the same as the Toyotas. It fit fine with out leaking or any noticeable overhang. other than the color you could not tell.
I would recommend that you not get a canopy that does not have the front sliding window...One canopy I tried had no front window, just a rubber lip around the window frame and due to bed/cab flex, the rubber lip rubbed away the paint..
