From The 60's? What is this? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone have any info on this truck, what it might be, when it was made, where it was marketed, etc? Looks pretty cool...

No idea but that is freaking cool!

Maybe an early Dyna variant? Kinda makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Very cool.

Those are toyota's 7-ton trucks

Many different variations .... They are the DA series ... That one looks to be later 60's maybe 67-68

Here is a link to more information>>> https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/toyota-da-truck.188403/

Lots of places got them... USA did not

Johnny, I was hoping you would chime in, I figured if any one knew something, you would...thanks for the link!
I hope there are some survivors and some restored ones around, those are awesome trucks!

Now wouldn't that make a great tow rig for your FJ40? Too cool!

I like the early DA's a bit more

toyota has been making heavy haulers for quite some time... from the begining actually with the G1 in 35'

DA and GA in 36'
GB in 38'
KB in 42' and later wartime KC in 43'

which lead to the AK10 in 44' (the gradfather of the Land Cruiser)

and eventual Jeep in 51' as BJ

and BX/BQ Weapons Carrier that then lead to the FQ

Hmmm... If anyone was considering really widening their FJ40, I see where they could get a bezel !
