Did some research and found the inspiration they used when this Land Cruiser model was created.

This was an original price list found in my fathers toyota dealership around 15 years ago when he sold the business after 30 years in the same building.

Nice work grimsey! Love pic #2 in post 131. That'll help me out a bunch - I keep running into people who don't believe the SWB style side bed was offered in Aus.

Wow great post thanks for sharing.
The price list also has the wheel bases also listed. 104 105 109 so all the early chassis extensions we are finding in Australia could be factory.
