My dad bought one same colour and year in 1962. Was our farm Ute in South Australian for nearly 40 years. I learned to drive in it in the 80s. It’s indestructible, dad rolled it over once and the only part damaged was the stock crate bolted to the back. I sent this video to dad, maybe he will be inspired to restore his. 🇦🇺

This is why. All the extra touches, the extra attention, all the going the extra mile to give the customer the vehicle that they dreamt about.... THIS is why a build can and many times costs FAR more than the owner could ever get if they were to sell said dream!! Its not about the money, its all about the dream. I love this build.

this is why im a toyota fan..drove them for 40 years ,,very kool

I bought one brand new in 1963 in green absolutely I breakable Amazing memories

This is why Steve Strope and Pure Vision is one of the best builders.. All the little touches are amazing. Not of it is obviously custom.

Never disappointed from the stuff coming out of Pure Vision. One of my favorite builders. Such a departure from the stuff normally coming out of his shop, but never-the-less, just as great as anything he's built.

Such a cool finishing touch. Looks like it should’ve been that way originally.

Best looking truck ever built, I had one lined up in Miami at a dealership a few years back. a 1966 Stout the salesman said it was the cleanest one in the country, ( maybe it's the one they bought as a parts truck) being a long trip of 400 miles he offered to let me stay at his house for the night before driving it home. It was super clean and only $4500 back in 2010 or so. Having never heard of one I was too reluctant thinking I'd never find parts if it broke down. Sure I always kind of wished I made the trip, but yet I never had the headache of trying to fix something no parts were available for either, bitter sweet I suppose still like their blinkers sitting on top the fenders. What a beautiful design. Other car manufactures bring back retro challengers, mustangs and Camaros, why can't Toyota bring something like this back or even an fj40.

I've never had a problem getting 14 inch tires for my 94 Toyota pickup or the 1980 Datsun I recently sold. Trouble getting them with raised white letters yes, but not light truck tires.

I can fully understand the Mexican carpenters in the background lol

Looks like a miniature early C Series Chevrolet pickup(1960-61) with it's twin hump turn indicators on each edge of the hood IMO, although both trucks appeared simultaneously, I doubt Toyota used Chevrolet influence(or maybe even vice-versa) when designing their trucks for 1960, just a nice coincidence I would think.
