Georgia resident?
Do you know the country of origin?
Thanks

Kerry lives in MS.

My understanding is the truck was purchased by the USMC for base duty on Okinawa, so it was special ordered as LHD. Once its use on base was complete, the corps brought it back to the states and it was surplused to a university (Kansas maybe). It was damaged in a hail storm and the university sold it. Kerry picked up and then restored it. Due to coming in via the US government, it has a US title.

Excellent truck. The restoration work the Kerry did was superb.

I do remember seeing a link to those trucks a few years back. I can not remember if they were owned by a University or the Forestry Department. Last question ..... I promise. Is the owner on 'MUD?

I don't know. I don't recall ever seeing a post from Kerry, but those does not mean that he is not reading/scanning posts.

FYI As I recall on the decals, Kerry said that his paint guy replicated the factory decals in paint because the replacement decals were turning into an expensive pain.

While I'm generally not a fan of Toyota's vintage graphics, I have to admit his graphics / decals look very appropriate and look nice on the truck.

On the GCC spec vehicles I think the graphics look very apropos.

I love the windrock area and know it very well. Perhaps we can round up some area 70s for a ride later in the year ....

My 74 got a box of presents from Amayama!

Installed HELLA H4 housings and 24v 70/75 bulbs. Night and day difference.

Hella also makes 100w/90 24v H4 bulbs. They work good in fog lights

Nice suggestion.
