Toyota got its start making 4x4s by reverse engineering a Jeep Bantam MK II captured in the Philippines in 1941, resulting in the AK10. The Toyota J60 Land Cruiser is famously durable and capable, perhaps my favorite Toyota.
Mark sent these interesting pics. I posted this same van behind a business in East Austin about two years ago. Powered by the F-134 Hurricane engine, giving about 75 hp, and also used in a bunch of Jeep models. Right hand drive for mail delivery. Specs for van here.
The “Loyal Austin DIY Shop” is near IH-35 and TX-45. A wide range of interesting car owners take advantage of the lifts and tools there to repair and modify their rides. One great service is the mobile dyno every 3rd Saturday afternoon, $65 for two “pulls.” Thanks, Mark.
Roland caught me taking these pics, asked me if I liked the truck. Justifiably proud of his new machine, and just back from a repainting, he said it’s powered by a 345 cu. in. V8. Thanks, Roland.
