I know the doors are compatible but dude had a 2wd rust free and is gving it away? Any one know if the "CARGO BOXES" are compatible?

 

If he's giving it away take it anyway, if their the same length, Id say yes.

 

anything's possible

 

Exactly the same. The only body difference is the front fenders, side markers, and front end..

 

Are the wheel wells the same cut? I am just worried that the factory tires were smaller on the 2wd, and that there wont be enough space for my 13's

 

Thanks Jaybird you helped me with my door question to a while back. Appreciate it.

 

The front fenders where a little smaller and not flared. The bed is the exact same 2wd-4wd I always thought it wierd that toyota put a flared bed on the 2wd... oh well, easier for us to get parts

No problemo bro

 

Speaking of third gen truck beds, I saw a mag the other day called "readers rides" On the cover was an 83. I tilted my head trying to figure out why it looked weird. I started reading aboot the truck itself and the guy apparently put a 3rd gen bed on it...The article said "Bed fit perfectly and looks great too"...

 

pics or it didnt happen......

 

How did I know you were going to say that...Im searching right now...

 

There's a local 1986 extra cab with a 1995 box on it. It kind of confused me at first, but I figured it out. It looks quite good I must say.

 

Yeah that update is gonna have to wait, Its on the brand new april issue, and its not up on the site yet......

 

a buddy of mine around here use to have a silver 86 with a 3rd gen bed on it... I'll have to see if I can find a pic

it had me "think" the first time I saw it, lol

 

aha!

found em...





IMO, the body lines don't match up too well...

I don't like the way the front fender's are squared, and then the backs are rounded... but I'm picky about things like that

 

See its weird, Because the Line that goes back actually sorta matches going back to the bed, But im with you on the fender sitch. What did he have to do to the bed to get it to mount, Or was it just a drop on job...?

 

honestly, I have no idea, I didn't have any part of it, but he never did mentioned anything about it being a PITA...

 

Lol, I was J/W cause that would be good info to have in this thread...

 

lol, yeah, your probably right...

 

Sombody with a 2nd gen needs to post the bed mount measurments. I will go out and check mine to see if its a drop in....

 

Great Idea jay..Does the fact that yours is ext cab change anything..?..
