There was a promo truck in 74 and one in 79 both called the Yamahauler.

The concept was 1st introduced with a dodge van yamahauler in which two or more were made. The Toyota Yamahauler in 74 was a turbo with a jag rear ... one-off truck... AFAIK

I believe the Yamahauler in 1979 was also a one-off sweepstake truck

Does anybody know if either of these trucks are still around?

My 1982 short bed had a stripe very similar to the 1979 above. Only the truck was white.
 
Hodaka also had a sweepstakes truck..i think a Datsun..i have looked for years no luck..i bet these trucks were trashed and prolly crushed..
 
I remember sending my entry in for the '79 back in the day!
 
Great find
