I don't want to change the subject "did Toyota ever make fire trucks or where they made by coach builders ?" but I'll do it anyway;
Did Toyota have a hand in these, what I call, "short bed" BJ and FJ 40's or are these all DIY projects?
These pictures are from all over the world and some are looking very the same.

Most of those are home made I have one.

Today I confirmed that there is still at least one HJ47 troopy in active service with the Rural Fire Service in my region.
Its a later model HJ47 with taco and newer dash cluster, disk brakes ect. and its set up for communications with different plugs ect running to the outside.
Its in damn good condition, Im just annoyed I didnt have my phone on me.

Some no so superclean ones:
And to add some element of "fire"...
Our eldest son in a practice session with the rural fire service (apologies for no 40-series land cruisers being in sight):
And one of our electric buses (ie trolley buses) that I drive here in Wellington on fire:

Just to update, Not all fire trucks but here are some old pics I stumbled upon.
And these two are still in service,
The troopy is NSW Rural Fire Service communications truck
And the Ute is the Dive Rescue/recovery vehicle for Albury NSW Rescue.
