At least you could work on the darn things back then. Given a choice, I would rather have to do regular tune ups than pay for a lot of crap I don't need or want in a truck.
"Anyolmouse" found these unused words:
Is that from Kelly's Blue Book ?
And look what group you're in! :)
Pogo in his John Boat -- in the Swamp.
The old RN Hilux with the 8R engine was one TOUGH cookie.
More importantly look at the types WHO hangs in this NG. ;)
The engine might have been tough but the body, no so much. I owned a Toyota truck back in 1957, but it was hidden under a Toy body that Toyota sold it as a car. ;)
They were all mounted on the fenders at one time...
I remember those trucks. I never could figure out why the lights were mounted on top of the fenders. Datsun/Nissan had no problem mounting them in the grill.
mounting them
Some were mounted on pylons off of the side of the hood.
The HEADLIGHTS were often mounted off the side of the radiator/grill
- never off the side of the hood, but the marker lights, and later directional signals, were fender mounted for many years - and you still see them mounted that way on several of the large over-the-road trucks today.
Picky, Picky--- ;-}
