    I have a white 2003 Stepside Limited Access Cab which I inherited from my parents. Actually, I inherited it, did a lot of maintenance on it and have given it to my son.

    To put it kindly, ol Grandma probably shouldn’t have been driving in her later years so the bumper and grille of the truck has seen better days. Not to mention the driver side mirror which had a run in with a telephone pole.

    There is a pull-a-part down the road which has a white, 2005 double cab SR5.

    I’m pretty sure the mirrors will match up just fine but what about the bumper and or grille?

    Your thoughts?

    thank you!

    DC and AC body parts don't really interchange. The grill might with a little trimming, but the bumper is doubtful. Regular cabs and access cabs are the same, DCs are closer to Sequoias, and I have no idea if there's any difference in step side front ends.

    This thread answers all your questions and more. It’ll help you understand what you inherited, and help you avoid the most common fuckups people make. It also discusses what part interchange looks like between cab types: https://www.tundras.com/threads/so-you-wanna-buy-just-bought-a-1st-gen-tundra-eh.115928/

    I highly recommend taking a gander, read it once or twice. We as a community have filled that thread with experiences we’ve learned starting around the time these trucks were a decade old and weird stuff began wiggling out of the woodwork.
