Convert a front end of a 87 pickup to a 89?
Is it possible to make a front end off of a 1989 toyota pickup bolt on to a 1987 toyota pick?

I don't see why not. The axles/control arms/tie rods would be a little wider. It would make a good swap if you were going with a 89-95 rear axle as well they are like 3" wider overall than the axles on your rig.

You have 2WD rear fenders? So your truc is a 2wd? Just look for a 4WD pickup and swap beds, just be prepared to pay premium for a bed in good shape 
89 beds are desirable since that is when they did away with that pesky seam that causes RBS (rusty bed syndrome).
The other way is swapping out for fiberglass bedsides, but i am not sure if they have the same fit with the main part of a 2wd bed.
