I wonder what part of it is Toyota. It doesn't look like any Toyota I've ever seen.

The sign just says 1983 Toyota Truck, was trying to figure it out. I'm pretty sure it once was a 40.

The frame, axles, steering column for sure.

Glenwood delership. Proffits sticker on the back.

I miss when Kent Stevinson had his mint restored 40s (and at one point a 45) in the showroom. At least the nose of the '71 is still above the parts room. At least it was last time I was in there.

Does anyone in Rising Sun have a relationship with new ownership? When I became Commander in 2002 I met with Kenny Kendricks, who was then (and I am told is still) parts manager who agreed to a 25% parts discount for Rising Sun members and agreed to let us use Stevinson's meeting room for our meetings. That worked great until the pandemic, then Kent sold the dealership and I am told we no longer have a discount nor are invited to meet there.

As far as relationships, I have been in regular contact with salesperson Mallory (retired Kurt Roger's designated replacement) about buying a 2024 250 series, and apparently there isn't a whole lot of cross pollination between sales and parts departments. Does anyone in Rising Sun have anything to report on this subject. Maybe I should start a new thread about Rising Sun's relationships with local dealers?

I don’t have any relationship with the new owners but it is owned by a big conglomerate out of Atlanta so I’m not sure if they care about local relationships.
I do know Kenny ( a personal friend of mine) retired and is no longer the parts manager. Dawn Shively is now the manager.

Spotted a wild @HDavis driving around last night. Had to pull over for a photo op.

Karen captured us two jokers taking pictures:

Seen that guy a couple times. I really like the color combo on that truck.

I just saw that truck at a gas station in Boulder, 28th and Valmont!

What's that on the fender? Tach? Too small for a side view mirror like a lot of JDMs have there.

I think it's a mirror.

It looks way smaller than the mirrors you normally see on JDM 70 series:

This also has no mirrors on the doors like the cruiser Tim posted. Of course those mirrors are bigger.
I'd put 5 on it being a blind spot mirror.

It's 100% a fender mirror. Those KZJ78 prado's get one that looks like that.

Yep, like on our school buses so you can see your front bumper at all times.

Baker. Took this last week I think. Clearly it just got delivered after a resto. Spotless undercarriage, brand new tires with no dirt on the treads. Immaculate interior.

Also Baker. A “new” 60 in a spot I pass on the way to my daughter’s school frequently.

Nice prado at the charcoal burger in Glenwood.

I’m pretty sure it’s not a Prado. It looks like an HZJ73. A proper Land Cruiser.

Look at the turn signals up on the fender, and the rear leaf springs.

Your right! Drove by too fast.

More diesel in the neighbors driveway. With a wildernest.
