Thanks for the congratulations. The truck is very rare indeed, in Brazil and anywhere else. I am almost afraid to use in the wild traffic of São Paulo.

Toyota was not in Brazil in 1957. The Bandeirante came a little later. My truck is a japanese CKD import and the eventual non japanese part were chosen by the importer Alpagral for local economic or legal reason. Now if , for example, that importer decided that a more powerful, cheaper GM 261...

Sometimes, it is hard to tell what is original. I just bought a very old fj25 in Brazil, a 57 with a chassis number that places it as the older 57 around your registry, and I still don't know what can be considered original or not in that CKD imported truck and there is no one alive or no...
