traditional japanese mini-truck...seriously, it is!

what is this? i like the grey with the dark gray wheels, nice combo...

 

man that thing is seriously cool as hell

 

I dig it.

 

I think it's a Toyota, I've seen it in the Japanese show pics from last year...

I like that front bumper with the wings on the ends.

Wait for it...

 

They are cool trucks. Imagine a Nailhead with a 6x2 stuffed in there.

 

It's a Toyota Stout.

 

Its a pretty early toyo. Still see one or two around here.

 

Toyota Stout. Its from and Built in Japan. The owner is Japanese. It was on the cover of MiniTruckin Magazine a few months back. Also on the cover and featured in the newest LowLifeVideo called "Scoundrels"

 

Where is there anything traditional hotrod about it?

 

Yea, if it wasn't built within 100 miles of the Santa Ana drag strip it's not a real traditional hotrod!

 

There

 

I was hesitant on even looking at this thread but I dig it. I like the fact that it stays with the japanese theme, with japanese lettering!

 

Kool truck !!!!

 

A friend of mine restored one when we where in High School, cool little truck I think his was a 1965. They had a 4 on the tree, kind of different.

 

no one said traditional hotrod in the title but this truck has traditional kustom written all over it, just not in english.

 

definately dig it as well.. very originall.. look for all the 'mini'trucks' to follow the same suit.

 

That is a very cool truck, the Japanese guys have a huge nostalgia thing going on with their homegrown iron.

 

cool

 

Velly rice!

 

there is a '67 Toyo Stout for sale here in So-Cal. here's the link

they look like half scale versions of the IHC trucks from 55?-70

 

It's got flat paint! That automatically makes it traditional.

 

i was going to say it smelled of flat nosed ford, but the ihc is a better description.

 

mister flake, i have the issue of mini truckin with that in it. you can have it if you want it.

 

doh!

 

Watsamatta?
You're only 63 miles away, you're cool!

 

I like it. I prefer the stout bed like it was instead of cut down.I slite chop on the top. Channel job, vintage V8 topped with some 2s. I would drive it around.

 

shit mike,,, you KNEW someone was gonna say it...

normally these kinds of threads are horseshit, but THIS truck i kinda dig

T

 

I gotta buddy that has one of these.

they have like a 1 liter engine or 1.25 or somethin funny I dont remember

 

Kind of looks like a Hillux
