Well that clears up one question Ihad, I have the Japanese script shift plate, I was going to re pop, but did not know what they were or seen another.

Cool, Thanks

SMC ?

Negotiations to buy the 43 in process.


Does anyone know anything about these SMC trucks, they should be made in Japan, as they had Japanese script on the fenders.

Does SMC = Suzuki Motor Corporation???

EDIT:

Seems Corporation only came into existance in 1990, from Wiki

1954 – Company name changed to Suzuki Motor Co.,Ltd

Still SMC works, can't see any Suzuki models that look like those though.

I did not see it mentioned that the grill was squared around the headlights and that started in '79.
ps they are not interchangable.

See post #8....
