Last month at Mecum, I witnessed the biggest accumulation of nice classic Land Cruisers ever in one place.

Yeah, I can never figure out why they don't get rid of those stupid bumpers that give them away.Wow. And all from South America besides the firetruck.
40s are the Jeeps of the rest of the world, very common down there. Once people in South And Central America realized what Americans would pay for them, the "restorations" starting coming here. I've seen photos that looked like really nice restorations, but I personally never would trust what I hadn't seen myself in bare metal.Seems like there are a lot more from South America recently. Is is my imagination or are there more listed for sale from South America recently?

Most of the 45 pickups' beds there had external stake pockets. Having lived in Costa Rica and been in Venezuela and most other CA countries, I've never seen this before. Maybe it's a Brazilian Banderante thing? South Aftrica? Maybe someone is producing aftermarket sheet metal?
The metal on these beds sure was straight and appeared unworked. Highly unusual for these types of trucks.
The "Otro Toyota" decals below the windshield sure indicate central America trucks. I'm not sure if it was just the Coopesa assembled trucks that got the decals. I don't think the Japan imports or Brazil assembled trucks got them.
