Swift in 6 Foot Bed Questions

[Josh41]

Hi All,
It's been a few years, sold our Fleet and Frontier years ago, and now are looking at a used Swift to put in our new Tacoma 4 Door Long Bed.

Question is: Owner has a Tacoma 4Door 3rd Gen 5 foot bed with the FWC bars and I have a Tacoma4 Door 6 foot bed.
Can I use his bed bars.
Any other issues that you can think of that would prevent me from putting the Swift in a 6 foot bed?

FWIW: I want the Swift b/c I carry 2 to 4 mountain bikes, don't like using a hitch extender, this will help keep the weight further forwards.
Truck already has airbags and E Tires.
Thanks
Josh

The bed bars as you call them mount using the same bolts as the bed are mounted with, so you just need to measure that distance. I would think that they would be the same. If not you could just drill new holes, and reuse the same bars.
