Pickup Bed Compatibility
Posted to Technical Discussion Forum on 11/22/2024 20 Replies

Don't laugh but I have a 1988 Toyota Standard Cab Short Bed that I've decided I want to squeak a few more years out of... okay you can laugh a little. It currently has an 89-94 bed on it which is in need of replacing and I'm looking for suggestions on beds to be on the lookout for that may fit. Does anybody have any suggestions? I'm sure there has to be at least a few Yota enthusiasts on here with some experience fitting something to these old trucks.

I already found toyotafiberglass.com, looks like a great product but I'm not looking to spend a fortune or build a show truck. Some suggestions I found so far were Ford Rangers and Chevy S10s of the same vintage, with the Ford needing special massaging because the fuel fill is on the wrong side. Here in the northeast those options will prove difficult to find in any better shape than what I have.

Anybody have a suggestion where to start? I'm not concerned with looks, just functionality.

Thank you.
