Can you help me identify this.

[hotrod59f100]

In the background ther is a red pick up truck and a cream colored truck . Id like to know what each is. They were my uncles but through family issues won't talk to most the family . But I'd like to build most of the vehicles that I remember in my child hood or through family pics. Btw I'm the ugly one on the Yamaha back in 91.

The cream colored pickup looks like a '79-'83 Toyota pickup, very similar to this one, but it doesn't appear to have the tailgate latch hooks on the bed ends, so it's probably an '81(?)-'83:

I was gonna say Toyota for both, based on the bed rail shape, although dating them is not my bag.

[hotrod59f100]

Cool . I guess I have something to start with.

[Casey]

Revell and AMT both made snap-together versions of the '79-'83 Toyota 4x4 pickups, though I think both are the '79-'80 round headlight variety.

[hotrod59f100]

I have a parts revell . I need just a few parts but I guess it's not easy to find people that have parts I need.

[Casey]

I think you'd be better off buying an unbuilt, complete kit to be honest. I've looked over the AMT kit and it looked slightly better to me, containing a few more parts.

[hotrod59f100]

I planed to soon . I appreciate the help.

Red one looks like a 70's ford Courier or maybe a 70's mazda.

I thought that. Does that red ones bed look like a job site bed?

[sports850]

I'd say late 70's Ford Courier for the red one as well , the Mazda B1800 (or was it 1600 ?) had a different looking grille down here at least and I think that one's the ford grille .

EDIT > I'm thinking perhaps a fiberglasss canopy on the back of it as well .

The red one kinda looks like a vw rabbit truck

[imatt88]

On the red one, I was leaning toward a Ford Courier as well.

The side mirror sure looks like the ones we had on our base taxi when I was in the Air Force. plus the grill, just looks like a Ford to me

HTH,

For the red one, I think it is Japanese, leaning on a Datsun or Mazda. It is definatelly not a VW Caddy, it is too high and too big for that one.

[The Creative Explorer]

It can also be a Isuzu, which has the windscreen shape I was looking for

[hotrod59f100]

I was hoping it was a courier . I have a extra kit of that. If my memory wasn't all the Japanese small trucks also rebadge here. Lik Mazda and ford. Chevy and isuzu ,dodge and Mitsubishi ?
