Ahhh A toyota, those are cool. I think you'll need the front doors too, they are different on the 4 door trucks.
You will not be allowed across the border with the truck, they check registration and VINs. And no matter how you bring it in, driving or boat or truck or burro, it has to go through customs first.
You need to contact an RI if you want this to be a smooth deal. I say this because lots of people have said "It cant be that hard" and tried to just do it. Then they end up paying for deporting again, or have the vehicle confiscated at the port and crushed.
Just for a warmup, ship something big to Canada. All that duty paperwork, special paperwork, etc is a pain in the ass. Multiply that by about 10,000 and thats how much trouble it is to import a vehicle. Little stuff like bumpers or steering boxes, no big deal. A whole cab, someone will be interested in whats going on.
Good luck!
