Engine/Transmission Swap

I was wondering if anyone to could help me out with this. :smile: I have an '88 truck with a strong 22R and 4-speed transmission, but the body is rusted all to hell. On the other hand, I have an '85 truck, 22R, and a 5-speed, the body is rust-free, perfect and straight, but the engine needs to be replaced. Will the '88 22R bolt up to the '85 5-speed? I'd like to keep it if possible. if anyone knows about this, please let me know. :smile:

You shouldn't have any problem with it. Just double check everything before you do it. Does the shifter come into the cab at the same place, do the trans/engine bolt patterns look the same, etc. Just "eye-balling" it should tell you everything. 84-88 Toyota pickups are basically the same, with a few electronic differences. If you're not using either truck on a daily basis, go for it :).
