Is anybody familiar with 96 Toyota Tacoma's?

I have a 1996 Toyota Tacoma of which has been wrecked by the previous owner. Getting a really good deal, I decided to purchase the vehicle and fix it as cheap as possible. In doing so, the problem is that when I try to find parts for the vehicle, the individual asks if it is 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive. When I say it is 4 wheel drive, they generally do not have the part, but seem to have the part for 2 wheel drive. Does anybody know the difference between a 2 and 4 wheel drive for the following parts:

Driver's Side Door

Front Left Fender

Bumper

Hood

I am hoping there is not any difference. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

As long as its the same model year then its the same. The only difference would probably be like it will look different. Like for example, a Evo X, GSR and MR. Same Car, different front bumper colors, the MR is grey, GSR is black, Same Fitment.

The difference is the fitment of the parts.

The look a lot alike. But the 4x4 parts mount up differently because they have more Clearance.

The Door will probably be the same. But it might not have all the options that came on the 4x4 because they generally tended to be better equipped.

The bumpers are definitively different though.
