What models will my 1998 canopy fit?

I tragically totaled my 1998 SR5 a few weeks ago. It is a base model. 2 wd, manual, manual windows, extended cab. It had a canopy. I took off the canopy in hopes of buying another Tacoma of the same vintage. I think it has a 73" bed.

Can someone tell me if this canopy will fit on 1998-2004 extended cab Tacomas? If not, what years should I be looking at? Thanks

 

An extra cab specific topper will fit extra cabs 95.5-2004.

 

I believe it will, if I recall correctly...if I'm wrong someone will correct me soon!

 

It will fit 1995-2004 Extended Cab Tacomas with the 6 foot bed. It will not fit the standard or double cab, however.

 

Thanks for the info. That was going to be my next question, about it fitting the standard cab. While I've got you here, is there anything I should watch out for as I search the want ads for a 95-20 Tacoma?

 

You’re buying another one?

 

Yes. I loved my truck. I bought it in 1998 and never had any problems with it.

Will my camper also fit a Prerunner of the same vintage?

 

Yes. It’ll fit any 1st Gen Extended Cab.

Watch out for frame rust. What’s your budget and location?

 

Seattle. I'd like to keep it under $7K and 165K mileage.

 

Good luck with that, 1st Gens are worth gold here in the PNW. You’re looking for a 4x4 or a 5-Lug base?

 

Don't need 4 wd. I'd like to keep it simple

 

So a 5-Lug or a PreRunner? Ext Cab, standard Cab, Double Cab?

 

I thought extended cab and regular cab tacos had the same size 6 ft bed?

 

Correct. But the standard cab has a different rear cab window angle.

 

Oh I didn't think of that

 

Sounds like I'm limited to Extended cab model. I'm illiterate so far as 5-lug or Prerunner.. But it sounds like it

 

A 5-lug is just a normal 2 wheel drive with a 2rz. A prerunner is a 6 lug with the suspension of a 4x4, but 2 wheel drive

 

How many lug nuts did your wrecked truck have? 5 or 6?

 

My 5-lug has the 5VZ v6.

 

I stand corrected
