Need New bed St. Joseph, Mo

I have a 85 xcab 4x4 and I'm needing a new bed and tailgate for it. PO had so much bondo in it that i can't save it. Looking for an american bed for it. If there is other years that will fit it please let me know. Thanks

My bed was rusting bad and I was in the same boat. I could not find a decent bed anywhere that wasn't already starting to have rust issues. So I went with a fiberglass bed and will never have to worry about rust again!


This bed came from B & G Fiberglass out of Trout Run, PA. It was a super quality product, I must admit. This photo was before I secured it down with the proper busings...I know the body lines are not matching.

I also know Cory at ToyotaFiberglass.com does good glass work. This may have changed now, but I think his beds are speced off the Canada trucks, which have a slightly differnt bed top. I believe that is what he wrote in an email, but don't quote me. I have a topper that goes on mine so I needed that ledge on the bed sides for it to rest on. The both have web sites so check there for better answers.

Thanks for your help but don't want to spend that kind of money. I'm getting ready to rhino line the whole truck anyway just wondering if anybody might know where I can pick one up for cheap and not alot of rust. Also wondering if there are any different years that might fit it. Our junkyards around here don't have any.

Cheap and not a lot of rust will be next to impossible. Toyota fixed, for the most part, the rusting issue starting with model year 89. Most beds prior to 89, including 85, are mostly rusted out.

All I can say is...good luck and post up what you find.
