Tony, I have to say, these steelies look a lot better than your steelies, and not just because they're color matched. Beautiful Hilux, doesn't get much cooler than this.
We were just beginning to see these trucks in the Midwest when I was in highschool. Some of the guys would buy them, and then trick 'em out with those Jackman white spoked rims perched on wide tires. They also added pinstriping and bed covers to the package as well. I seem to recall a Yellow one that was outstanding. It had a Black interior and bed cover along with what looked like American 5-spoke rims and black accent stripes. Now that was an awesome Hi-Lux!
Whoa. The size and stance of these little trucks from Toyota, Datsun and, Mazda put them in the same class as the Daihatsu Hijet. So few remain these days, it's a shame.
For laughs, I'd love to park one of these next to the comically-large modern Tacoma that supposedly fills the niche in Toyota's product line that began with the tiny Stout.
Best of OPC.

ultimate color.
those stick-on diamondplate bumpers always bum me out, but the rear-facing spotlight is priceless. and what is that mailslot under the license plate?
and nice rack, indeed.
interesting that my truck has different wheels...

Agreed with SeattleO. Stock steelies on these are the best.
