I am on the hunt for a pre-85 toyota pickup I would like to purchase. I have found a couple that I like. One of them is an 84 that is missing the box, but has the most pro-looking flat bed on it. Thats no joke this thing looks like it could be from the factory. The pickup itself looks like it has had a frame off restoration price is $5900. How hard would it be to find a box for it.
 
Body parts are scarce for a 79-83 truck.

I just tagged deer #3 last week, and need to source a new radiator core support, but the problem is that the 4WD variants of these trucks NEVER reach a wrecking yard, they either wind up as parts trucks, buggies, or getting built into something.
If you know where to look, or whom to speak with, you can get anything.
Toyota Fiberglass sells some awesome fenders and bits that I seriously want to get for The Mule some day, but the prices are beyond my means for the time being.

FWIW, I can source much of my plastic bits for my truck from the stealership.
 
Chuck: he's looking at an '84, not a '79-83.

A bed from any '84-88 pickup will fit an '84, if that's what your asking. I don't think you can get them new from Toyota anymore, but I have heard very good things about these guys:

My bed is still in very good shape, I had to clean up a few issues and a huge dent in it, but if it ever gets too rusty to rescue I'll likely go the fiberglass route.
