1980 Pickup Frame Swap

Anyone know if a 1985 Toyota Pickup (solid axle) frame is the same as a 1980 Pickup frame?

I have a 1980 with badly rusted frame. I recently had to replace and box in 4ft on each side of the frame because the truck bent into a V after some hard trail riding.

So its ok for now, but the rest of the frame is in terrible shape. I want to build a smooth riding truck with 4 links etc, so I want to start with a decent frame. I found a 1985 frame in really nice shape, but Im not 100% that my cab/bed will fit on it. Anyone know? Thanks guys!

I did a 1985 SAS Frame with a 1987 pickup body with no problems
