91 4x4 bed removal

[den524]

I just bought 91 4x4 and I need to repair a few places on the frame where rust has eaten it away. Is there any advice out there for removing the bed (tricks of the trade). Also, the brake line to the rear wheels is rusted along with the E- Brake cable. Any advice in this area as far as where to buy parts? Thanks

How much rust are you talking about? Can you get some photos posted to your account?

One of shackels broke free from rust and there are other areas that need some repair. Fabrication and welding is my profeesion so, I can completely rebuild sections of the frame if I have to. It has 118,000 miles on it and everything works perfect. Gave 1,000 for it. Not trying to make it a show truck, just functional. Thanks

Not sure if yours will be this way or not, but measure the gap between the bed abd cab before you remove it, some beds have slots instead of holes to bolt it down and you can put it on crooked. As for the parts, try trdsparks.com. They might have what you need or maybe local napa store.

Where are you from? You asked about getting parts. Did you want to buy parts online and have them shipped to you or did you want to find a bone yard or a local dealer?

Here is a link to a site that will give you a step by step guide to remove the bed from your pick-up...http://pickuptruckbeds.net/how-to-remove-and-install-a-truck-bed/
Toyota after-market parts can be found at every Toyota Service center.
