Body swap from pu to 4 runner
« on: Jul 12, 2004, 09:46:52 PM »
Wondering if anyone has done a swap from a pick up to a 4 runner. I have a pick up that has a body that has seen better days and a 4 runner that needs a new frame. So my question is how long and is it a pain in the rear.

What is the doner truck, is it a long box, short or x-cab? 
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

The shouldn't be all that bad of a swap really.  Id have both frames sitting in front of you so you could swap anything that is different between the two.  I know that a couple of boldy mounts are different on the runner.
