85 cab and bed on a 84 4-runner frame?

Dirty85yota · 03-23-2005, 05:57 PM

My frame is pretty rusted on my 1985 4x4 so I was thinking of replacing it. I found an 84 4-runner 4x4 frame, will it work? My truck is a single cab long bed.
Will the cab and bed mount right up? The guy said you have to weld the cab mount "tabs" to the frame??? What's that and is it hard?

You haven't searched.
If you are asking if it is hard to weld body mounts to the frame then NO it can't be done. Now, WHERE is this good frame that you speak of?

the only matching body mounts are the first and second sets. figure out the rest.
