Looking for an odd truck kit
Posted by Gigatron on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 9:25 AM

Hey guys,

I'm normally a plane guy, but I'm looking for a kit for someone.  I'm not even sure a kit of this truck exists, but I figured if anyone would know, you guys would.

Ok, so what I'm looking for is this; a late 70's Toyota pickup, something along the lines of the Hilux/4runnner/tacoma with a camping cover on the bed.  I'm looking for a model with the squarish wheel wells (as opposed to the perfectly rounded ones).  Single crew cab and no fender flares.  The camping cover isn't a must as that can probably be scratchbuilt, but it would be nice to have.

If anyone can help or provide any useful information, it would be greatly appreciated.

-Fred

Here are a couple of links that contain some early model kits of Toyota and Datsun pickups. Some are snap-together quick kits, but at least one of them has a camper included. Good luck.

Scroll down near the bottom of the page.
