Tow package from runner to truck?

Will my tow package from my 88 runner fit directly onto the frame of an 88 truck? I just need to double check that the frame is the same.

Checking because I'm selling it and I told the guy I'd check for him too see for sure if it fits. What if its a short bed?

Actually, the first generation 4runner is the same wheelbase and length as a 2nd gen shortbed truck. That's why 4runner tops can be used as camper shells on short bed 2nd gen trucks.

Yes its the same frame ends and the same bolt patterns

2nd gen trucks and 1st gen 4runners are the same thing

I know they are the same thing. I just had to double check and get the knowledge directly from someone else too. Thanks Joe.
