3nd pickup single cab swap onto 2nd gen 4runner frame

I have a 1991 4runner with a mint frame good drivetrain but the body wont last the next 5 year. I wanna keep it and swap a pickup cab on it. I know for sure the 4 first mount are the same. Is Anybody has done that before?

Not exactly, I put a 1980 chevy pickup cab on a 1979 Blazer frame.
You will most likely be making mounts or spacers for the back of the cab and you might as well plan for a DIY flatbed.
Anything is doable with enough time money patience and/or skill.
Depending on your local laws you may have to register the vehicle as "reconstructed" and/or have it inspected since there are VIN numbers all over it that will no longer match.
