The best place to try is Ebay.

Thats where I got mine. Saw it on there... It was off a Rapid Yellow XR8. So it was a bonus for me.

The really do vary in price.

If your in Vic.

Ring Patterson Cheney Toyota, Dandenong Melb. ask for parts dept.

They have lots ute bodies of all sorts and colours in racks.

I nearly bought a black one to make a trailer for my BA. Then I realised I had no use for it. Other than schoolbags the ute carried 1 set of alloys wheels in 2 years.

What did you end up doing with it?

Mind me asking what you paid?
