    well apparently no one on mazda forums has the answers i seek and i thought id quiz you all

    im wanting to put a 2nd gen ford courier grill and lights on my 1st gen mazda b2000...
    from what i can tell by looking at pics they match but i cant find part numbers or anything

    also anyone know what calipers i can use as upgrades on an 84 yota?

    my mazda is half toy and half maz
    frame and body is maz
    front and rear driveline is toy
    its been fun finding parts

    Reguarding the caliper,you should be able to use a 4-piston from a 4x4 or 4-Runner. Check and see if the rotor sizes are the same,if larger dia. than you will need to make or get brackets to space the caliper out further.
    I did the upgrade posted on this site,larger rotor &Toyota 4-piston caliper.

    what he means is it bolt-on? No not even close. if you want it bad enough anything can be fabbed up with enough patience and skill.

    Don't get ya panties in a wad
    They look similar in the width not what they are
    But if they don't fit whatever ill be out 50 bucks until I can sell the stuff on ebay haha
    I might just use the headlights and headlight buckets and make a billet grill using them
    I'm just irritated there's not info on em like there is on yotas

    ok you never really explained it very well. as long as you keep it the same platform then it will bolt right up. the austrailian grille that i have bolts right up to my truck, i just had to move a few clips. the radiator support already had the holes.

    As far as I know it'll work...there's a lot of weird holes in the support that look like they've never been used...from what I've read its the same truckexcept for the lights and maybe one or two other things..hell half my truck has ford parts on it replacement wise haha

    The hardest thing is finding a camper top to fit my bed....I've had no luck on used ones...are older yota bed 60x76 aswell?
