Exclamation 93 pickup swap with 85 4runner frame

hi right now i have a 93 pickup 4x4 that only has 136000 but the frame is junk and i have a buddy who has an 85 4runner frame that is good i was wondering if anybody knew if the body mounts would line up or would i have to do some fabrication
thanks crazycruzjr

The extra cab pickups run a long wheelbase, so make sure its not extra cab, or upi'll have to bob the bed alot.
The shortbed pickup and 4runner have the same wheelbase.

Just gotta move body mounts around. Not that hard.
