Sometimes you find the best stuff online by doing oblique searches. "Chevy Toyota" or "82 FJ Cruiser". Happened upon this yesterday on Facebook Marketplace. Something about it just spoke to me. Brought it home last night.
1965 Toyota Stout 1900. Spent 90% of it's previous life as a Roadside Assistance service truck in Snowflake, AZ. And it looks it. Sometime in the past it received a 20R and a 4-speed (not sure what year haven't pulled the block number yet). Other than that it's all original, down to the 2 (yes, 2) 18 gallon OEM gas tanks, the handpainted graphics, the patch in the bed, etc.
Plans are to possibly make it an automatic, use a 80s-era Toyota pickup rear axle, make all the drivability stuff all good, fix the wiring etc. and it's just a weekend rig.
