Bed mounts?? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Slim Carter · 02-01-2005, 09:10 AM

Hello all! My first post here in the nissan forum.
I've driven an 84 720 2wd for several years now as my DD. (the best truck I have ever owned by the way!)
I just picked up an 85 720 4x4

to take its place.
My question is this the 84 2wd has a very cool flatbed on it and I want to swap it onto the 4x4, can anyone tell me if the bed mounts are in the same place on both trucks??
Thanks

As far as I know, 2wd and 4wd doesn't make a difference , but regular cabs and king cabs used different beds, so if they are both regular cabs or both king cabs, it should be fine.

Dang-it!! One is a regular cab and one is a king cab. I guess I am screwed.
Thanks for the info.

Measure it. Chances are the mounts were modified for the flatbed or the flatbed can easily be adjusted for the newer trucks.

Good point! It's gonna go on either way, it won't be hrd to fab up some mounts.
