    Does anyone know if a Softopper for a 1994 Toyota Pickup with the 73" bed (last year before becoming the Tacoma) will fit a 2008 DCLB? I think length wise it will work, looking for insight regarding the width. I have email Softopper but have not gotten a response.

    Measure both vehicles? Carefully.

    From several positions. Some beds aren't the same at the front as the rear.

    But I'll place my bet that it won't work, if you are looking for a perfect fit.

    Unfortunately the seller no longer has the truck. The topper is about 1.5hrs away from me. So not too far for a purchase, but a little farther than I'd like to drive without knowing about fitment. I'm wanting to hear back regarding some dimensions of the topper itself.

    I'm also curious if a 3rd gen topper would work on a 2nd gen.

    Height and width are different between the Pickup and the newer Taco's

    Are you referring to the topper for the 1994 vs the 2nd gen? Or the 3rd vs 2nd? I appreciate the response, just looking for clarity.

    I thought that's what you meant. Thanks for the input. A little disappointing to hear all the same. The one for sale near me is at a decent price.
