Hi im Curt from AZ, ive been lurking for months waiting, decided to do a proper intro. So here it is. I recently got a 72 hilux according to title, but it looks like a 73. Its supposedly original, one owner, old guy said they had both models in 72. Does that sound right.... Pics to come.
welcome! yes that did happen in 72/73 years. Joe (toy boy) has a truck titled 72 that looks like a 73 as well.
okay, as long as someone else heard of it.... and david, pics will come, I will start a build thread, waiting on tax money to start on some things on her.
welcome. i haven't been on this site for too long, but i am learning a lot of stuff and i try to help by putting in my info as needed. everybody here is really cool and very very very helpful.
Wow, and here I thought I was special. Yup, yup, 12/72 is what's on my door jam. On my registration card it reads: "YR MODEL 1972" & "YR 1ST SOLD 1973" Anyhow, WELCOME! Extremely happy to know more and more of these early 70's HiLux are being kept on the road. Especially one out of Arizona - where I'm told they are ultra rare. Pics, man, pics!
I havent seen many that dont have campers attached to em'. Yeah door jam reads 5/72, titled the same, but all the pics ive seen look like a 73. Like yours but white.
Basically in 1972 they had two model trucks. The tail end of the RN10's and the beginning of the RN20's (our trucks). No big deal, really. Although, from what my previous owner told me, when they went to purchase parts for the front brakes, none of the parts stores had a listing for a 72' RN2x. So they went with "73'" parts. Same difference. But something worth remembering when you start having the stores look things up for you.
well adding to the confusion I have a 77 engine, 76 valance and 78 bumper on my 72 that looks like a 73/74!
