i heard the same, that when the trucks came in from japan to the west coast, it was just chassis and cab, and the beds with the flushed look were added on site. my question is when i swap out my jap bed on my standard cab 2wd, can i change it out with an extra cab 4wd cali bed? is there a difference in length or bolt patter? do i have to find a single cab 4wd to do a direct swap?
all the 84-88 bed's 2wd,4wd,jap,state side/cali/us/wat ever other names they have?are all interchangeable with a regular standard cab and the x-cab,compatible.here are sum of the 84-88 yoter's iv owned: my 86 reg cab w/a 87 4wd jap bed. my 85 4wd"the weekend wheeler" my 87"the old drag/werk truck" {BLUBYEU}w/a 4wd x-cab state side/us/cali bed: yes it's 6lug w/sum weld draglite's. and here's the cuzn's 87 x-cab 2wd sr5 turbo w/the state side bed.: just sum example's
