    looking to pick up a 4wd short bed for my 2wd short bed pickup. Anyone know if the dimensions are the same and how about the mounting tabs? Any information is greatly appreciated as I am currently stuck in bed with a shattered leg and cant physically o check out the bed. Thanks.

    Yeah everthing from the 2wd bed will work, mounting is same also. Only difference is the fender section is wider.

    Salty did you find a 4wd Jap bed or is it an american bed with side latches for the tailgate?

    which one 77/78/79/81[r.i.p]82 sbrc driftbox, and a CeliLux/current daily= 79 sbrc [lil' blue]
    the front mounts could be different but they unbolt from the 4wd bed and can be welded [or bolted but the metal is double thick so better have good drill bits] to the 2wd bed but that is going 2wd bed to 4wd truck you should be ok might have to fab a littl tab between the front two cross rails for the front bed mount or just leave it off six bed bolts should be enough [longbeds have 8 idk about shorts]
