I had started going through the Downey Off Road Parts Catalogs again, rescanning and posting in the historical side of the FJ25 Forum. (missing a completely full flash drive :cry:

) I had re-posted several years now that are full of great pictures. Enjoy what I had done so far... they are all going to be posted on the page two found in the downey off road thread here:

this truck is familiar (for obvious reasons)... i think it was one of the trucks that were in the 1960ś/70ś Hil Probert dealership videos in larkspur

This is the same truck from Hil Probert dealership videos...

here is a quote from a guy who knows alot about larkspur and Hil:
"' 'Toyota Road' which was a road cut straight up through the woods from Madrone Canyon to Fireroad 10 where Probert's Toyota had supposedly tested & filmed Toyota Landcruisers in the early 1960's."

He used customers vehicles and he was even know to be in quite a few...most were registered trucks

bezel is upside down ... Yep... Customers, dealers and even factory manuals are sometimes wrong

early days dealerships did their own advertising...as toyota did not have a national publicity campaign at that time
