ok guys.

FOund a 86 automatic, TURBO 4 runner at the junkyards.

I have an 85, 5spd, 4*4. I am almost 100 percent sure the doors are the same shape.

The turbo 4 runner has POWER windows!!!! Is there anyreason why i cant,(or shouldn't) buy them for 60 bucks, and put them on my truck? They will fit right? I cant see a reason why i shouldn't do it....
Do you guys???

Is there anything else i should grab from that 4 runner!!???(other than the seats with ADJUSTABLE bulster and seat hight???)I already got those, but don't know what else i should grab!

Thanks in advance for any answers!

The first thing that comes to my mind: what do they want for the whole dang thing and do you have the space to keep it?

Your doors should fit. You will probaly have to fab a power harness to run the window motors, unless you grab the whole harness. Personally, I like non-power windows...been stuck with a dead battery in the rain before!

How is the top? Those have GOT to be hard to find! Extra marker light lenses, grille, headlamp bezels and door handles are things I always snag. Any small things that go out often are fair game and usually worth the effort, like relays. Why is the truck in the 'yard? If it is for body damage and the mechanials are good, grab what you can afford! If you 'wheel much, axles, tranny and t-case are always good to have extras for! Is your spare in good shape? Perfect donor to get one of those too usually. Does it have the jack or anything else you may be missing? How about the glass? Weather stripping? Aftermarket goodies?

Yes, I do love junkyards! Enjoy!
 
The doors will fit, but you also need the relay module located behind the side panel, down near the rear passenger's feet (driver's side). The wiring would make things much easier too.

For the same generation (body style) of vehicle, almost everything is interchangeable between 4Runner and p/u, 2WD or 4WD. Glass, sheet metal, etc.
I know, I've done a lot of parts swapping ;):
