    Wondering if anyone has ever put a 3rd gen Runner body on 85 pickup frame or know someone who has. I recently bought a runner to build a family wheeler, but I have a lot into my 85 pickup and I think it would be easier to put the runner body on the pickup. Anyone seen this done?

    wheel base the same? Body attachment to frame probably different, plenty modding probably going to be necessary. Check a shop manual for each, compare frame specs. Such one-offs always expensive and resale generally goes to crap.

    I know that that pickup is way narrower than the third gen 4runner, just based off of that I think it would not work. Never heard of someone trying though
