6 ft Prerunner Bed onto a Prerunner that Had 5 ft Bed??

I have a prerunner but the6 ft bed is messed up.

Is it possible to put a 5 ft Prerunner bed onto a prerunner frame made for a 6 ft bed ??

Would the attachment points be the same but a foot of bed would just be hanging out ??

 

the wheelbase will be different. for the bed length. i wish i had a 6ft bed truck with a 5ft box

 

Try it. You might be on to something, here

 

Wheel wells won’t line up

 

Well assuming the 6 bolt holes or how ever many there are line up with whatever holes on the 5ft short bed frame it still sounds like the wheel wells would need to be modified due to what ski raccoon said above.
Was thinking of getting a frame that in better shape and putting my engine and tranny into the short bed Taco body/frame but sounds like i cannot put the long bed off my long Taco on the short taco. If the Taco dog was still around they could help.

What a nightmare....

G@#$ Toyota dealerships and handling of frame recalls !!!!

 

Worth a shot. Post pics.

 

The extra bed length is in front of the wheel wells. You will have a gap between the front of the bed and the cab.

 

okay i have an idea... get a 5ft box, cut it down fiberglass the 6foot fenders to the box again and it just might work. or be really cool to see someone cut down the sides of a bed to make the frame work

 

Thanks, sounds like I'll have major issues then I wont be doing it then. The bed doesnt seem to work how I hoped it would at all good thing i didnt buy that 5 ft box prerunner and try to fit my bed on it Lol

 

how did you think it was going to work?!

 

build a stake body until you find a replacement 6' bed! love my 6 footer!!!

 

Thought the crew double cab short frame would allow a 6 foot bed to attach but there would just be a foot hanging out past the rear bumper. Why would that not be reasonable ?
