1st gen runner body on 82 long bed ?
« on: Jan 12, 2007, 07:41:16 PM »
i am just getting ready to do some body work on my 82 longbed pickup and would really like to just put a 4runner body on it instead, i have heard of people doing it on shortbeds but can you do it with a longbed or will the fenders be way off.  Any info or pics would be awsome thanks

Fenders will be 10" off
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

DO IT. just put in a fuell cell (move the gas tank) shorten the driveline and move your spring hangers,,,, also chop the frame, shorten ebrake cable, shorten rear brake lines, and 2 new body mounts mayby more.

You will have to make rear body mounts too.
