    The only two frame differences I noticed were the rear cab mounts and the front bed mounting points.

    Rear cab mounts and front bed mounts are different but the rear frame is certainly the same. https://www.autorust.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/New-Tacoma-Wall-Chart-page2-Web.jpg
    I have a 99 and I have the rear 04 frame in the bed. I was going to use the new frame section for parts but now I am thinking about grafting the rear section in.

    As for the front, I think there will be some motor mount differences between 4 and 6 cylinders, and if your changing from manual to auto may have different cross members etc

    I was just using the link because they have a nice comparison of the 2 frames.
