Hilux spotted

Saw this today in a local supermarket parking lot. Anyone know what year it is? The bed looked bigger than any modern Taco bed.

 

Anyone know what year it is?

 

2020

 

okay. You won this one.

 

I'm wondering if the bed and cab are the same year. That change in the rocker panel line is...drastic.

 

They were built like that. This is a 77

 

A whole other world back then. Cool.

 

I would love to have a 79 4wd(first year they built them I believe)

 

Those lines. Love those lines.

 

This one would be awesome to have.

 

yeah, that yellow truck, it's a second gen hilux (1972-1978), but looking at the front grill, I'd say 73-74
Has the grille with the square-ish recessed headlights holes

 

Looks a lot like my 74’ HiLux LWB. 18R 4 spd great little truck. Still have the back half....

 

A high school buddy of mine bought a HiLux after graduation in 1972, it had the parking light on top of the fender like the blue one that you only see a corner of in your picture. he replaced those lights with the turn signals (including the chrome stalk) from a Honda 350 motorcycle. You knew who he was from a mile away when you saw the truck coming. That was a helluva little pickup.
