I've had no luck. My shortbed is shorter than any other Toyota shortbed. Early to mid 70's shortbeds are longer, later 80's and all later model shortbeds are longer. The 79-83 just had weird beds. Don't know about the longbeds.

I ended up buying an aluminum topper off a 75 toyota and cutting it down to fit. Worked pretty well...but I've noticed it's coming apart a bit where I put it back together...need to figure out how to make it stronger.

Let us know what you find out...I'd be interested.

Bob the bed to fit what top you like most. its pretty simple to do if you can weld or know someone who can. not the easiest approach by far but you can have whatever top you want.

That is a longbed? If it was a shortbed, I'd gladly head to Spokane to pick it up...
