With that said, anything I should look for when buying one or any particular year to avoid?

Nice, that should work then :) Now I just need to find one in my price range haha

Thanks for the replies guys! Well, that rules out the short bed It needs to be about 44". Does anybody have a longbed they could measure?

Hey guys, Glad I found this forum and hoping you guys will have some insight for my project idea... So I picked up a rare 1978 Toyota Sunrader at a price I could not talk myself out of. Since the stock toyota is grossly underpowered and slow, I want to pull the camper shell off of it and put it on a 4x4 truck. My initial thoughts were a more modern Toyota (am I allowed to say that word here?) since they match up fairly nicely but recently I discovered that the Comanche might be a good option. The wheelbase is similar and from my research, these are fantastic trucks. The one thing I'm curious about is I need to get a measurement from the back of the cab to the center of the rear wheel to see how the camper shell would pair up. Also, and I know this is vague, does anybody know how the frame would compare from the Toyota to the Jeep? Thanks in advance! :) Existing Truck: Frame with shell removed:
