Hey All, Rhys here, nice to meet everyone.
I stumbled across this forum while looking for info on a 71 Toyota stout. Im An Australian living in the north of Japan and have recently brought the full stout pictured below. Im having a massive amount of trouble getting clear information or any help up here as they are non existent vehicles. My Stout has leaf springs on all 4 corners. And appears to be the full stout? It currently has the original wheels and I would really like to remove them and replace with more modern ones as the (tube type) tires are mega expensive. The issue I am having is that the stout I have has large wheel hubs (130mm) similar to that of a light truck. The original wheels seem to have a rare PCD. 6 on 170 or PCD 170 with a 130mm hub. Im wondering if anyone could help me out with any information on what Stout owners with the same large wheel hubs do either find wheels that will fit the truck. Or is there the option to change the rear and front axles/ hubs to something off another Toyota that would fit and accommodate the more common 139.7 PDC.
Im no pro but ive got people who are working on the truck right at the moment- they wont move until I feed them information on what to do. Unfortunately Japanese mechanics arnt as open minded as someand wont suggest options to solve problems. Im desperate as without sorting this problem the truck is un drivable as they tires are buggered! Any assistance or info you could provide would be an incredible help - hell I'de even fly home and buy you a beer!
