Newbie question grill swap

Hey all,
New here I picked up am 85 2WD Toyota short bed with 65,000 original miles! However, my grill is cracked and falling apart from sitting in the sun and a side marker is broken. All of the plastic on it is brittle from the sun and will eventually need to be replaced.

I have someone about 40 miles away with a complete 4runner grill (not including markers) will it bolt without modification into my truck? It's so cheap I really don't want to pass it up! It's from an 85 4runner.

Sorry if this has been asked before I couldn't seem to find anything on it. Hope this is in the right section....

Anyway, thanks and hello!

Fenders, hood, cowl are all the same, I say go for it!!

If it doesnt bolt in, there is always self tapping screws and duct tape...

fenders will bolt up but they are not the same as the 4x4 since he has a 2wd.

Many a grill I have zip-tied on. And yes you can interchange all front end body parts on 84-88 trucks and 84-89 runners.
