Identification Assistance Needed

[blueticker17]

Found a FJ45 that appears to be in reasonable shape. My question is how do I know wether it is a short bed or long bed. It does not have a bed on it. Also does anyone make a steel aftermarket bed and tail gate?
Thanks,

how to tell

If the cab is in place, there will only be about 8 inches until the frame curves up around the rear tire for the short bed. it will be about a foot longer before the curve up on a lwb.

Paul Pilgrim in Panama was (still is) making long beds and tailgates, selling them through several folks int he vendor section (I think TLC4x4 is the priomary importer of them). I got one of his tailgates, it is beautiful.

Thanks, maybe I can figure it out and make a deal with the guy. Where do I get a short bed if that is what it is?
thanks,

Aqulu in canada is now making short beds,
