Toyopet Light Truck (Toyoace - SKB)

[Archie 1962 FJ25]

While searching for an early Toyota color chart (Correct for 1959), I stumbled across this beauty produced by Toyota from 1954 to 1960. I thought of posting it here since it shares some parts with our beloved 20 series Land Cruisers, check out wheels and winkers. My favorite features are "Suicide Doors & Kick-Out Vents" very cool.

Mods please move or remove the thread if its not an appropriate place to post.

Original color on my FJ25 (underneath the current paint) is very similar to this shade, I will post some pictures in my build thread. If some one knows the paint code please share.

I had posted the one with the two guys in the cab before... Every time I see that pic I laugh.. It's just so staged and the unibrow brothers almost have a manikin look to them ... Love that picture

Btw I can only assume they are brothers sitting so close

Seeing a profile picture of the front seat makes me think you wouldn't want to go on a long trip in this truck. Looks something built during war time when raw materials are scarce.

I remember well when you first posted this picture and how odd it looked. The passenger's door open would have least made it look like someone just stepped out.
