I've got a 86 pickup. tired 22r in it. I'm thinking of trying to buy a wrecked tachoma with 4.0 running gears and basically putting my 1st gen body on the frame and running gears. I realize it would be a lot of mods but I think it would be less than actually trying to mod everything? My pickup is ext cab short bed. I've also got an 89 runner lifted and phase 2 head from 22repreformance.com. I've also got a 2nd gen runner with the POS 3.0. Any comments?

Let me clarify - Are you thinking it'll be less work to lift the body of the '86 pickup off the existing chassis and move it to the rolling chassis/drive train of a newer taco?
If so, all this just because the engine is old on the '86?
I think you'd be opening a huge can if you swapped bodies. The simpler and more cost effective route would be replace existing driveline -- and save you tons of time/frustration.
