    Hi, I'm new here and my truck is a Hilux RN20. I don't know the specific year though. Could someone please identify and tell me :D it originally came with a 12R engine but my dad and I swapped it with a 13T-U. We did a couple of body work and some other stuff but the thing is, we can't find the original side badges, wiper assembly, and also the handbrake assembly :( you guys have any idea where to get these parts?

    The VIN plate (if present) usually has the manufacturing month/year on it. (or, at least, mine does)

    Another way to narrow it down is looking at the grille. My RN28 has a grille that is different (2 piece) than the one-piece grill of earlier models.
    From what I can see of yours, I'd say it's at LEAST a '72/73, if not newer. Then again, they have different setups in different countries.

    Looks pretty nice so far. keep us posted.
