    Hi all,

    I've recently imported a 97 Toyota Hilux to USA, and i'm wondering if body parts like the windshield, doors, interior bench etc. are interchangeable with same year Tacoma?.

    The windshield is cracked, and picking one up from the junkyard is much more accessible. Thanks a lot.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Never seeing anything but pictures I know my luck would never be that good.

    You might get lucky break out the tape measure. Very easy to compare if you give us some measurements

    Good luck with old glass .

    All I know is it’s a 5L and it’s MT. And most likely distributor. Don’t know much about the diesels. I know more information would help me.

    Got any pics?

    Hilux was sold in Mexico too so you can try looking for parts exporters down there.
