will a 85 or later cab fit on my 82 frame?

Im building my 82 toyota into a crawler and there isnt enough room inside and i want to put on a extended cab to solve my problem but they only come on the later model trucks, will the later model cabs bolt up to my frame?

Yes, a 2nd gen cab will fit your 1st gen frame with a little work. I have a 2nd gen 2WD cab/bed on my 1st gen 4WD frame. There will be a little more fab work involved to put an xtra cab on (2 more cab mounts) but it's defenitely doable.

thanks for the reply. what type of fab work will i need to do in order for it to work?

You'll have to add 2 body mounts to the frame for the xtra cab, and make an adapter of sorts for the front body mounts (in front of the radiator). The spacing between them is too far.
The front mounts inside the cab (at your feet) have to be egged out a little to line up.

i want to also out a 85 cab ... on my 82 4x4 chassis... my problem is using my existing wiring harness... should i? i have to take the on eout of new cab cause it for a fuel injected engine.. 22r3

i have carbed 22r

should i just try to use the old harness... i want to cut away most of the old cab anyway....

Yes with a little work. just remember new can go on to old but old cant go onto new

so my newer cab and the harness that is already set in.. that will all go over onto my old engine.. i just dont have to hook up the fuel injector..

in addtion, i have a electric fuel pump already installed on old.

that is if you were responding to me..

sorry to sound stupid.. but it seem that i would just hook up to the distributor . right

It's best to use the wiring and ECM that goes with whatever engine is being used.
