Negative. It was just the opening for the fuel cap. No door

 

Weird you have an indent for a finger to lift the door.

 

I always thought it was weird too. Doesnt have anywhere for the hinge to mount unless it would have used the same bolts that hold the filler neck

 

Finally took the truck for a spin, got a few things i gotta adjust but my goodness does it ride so much smoother! Went out and picked up a Christmas tree with my wife so we snapped some pictures

 

wow, that is a seriously nice looking christmas tree sled!

 

Thanks bro.

 

What lowering kit do you use im tryna lowering my 74 hilux and don't know which to go

 

When i originally lowered it i used 3" drop blocks, 1" bolt on block from BeefedTaco and pulled the middle leaf. Front i just cut about 3 turns off the coil springs

 

great work man truck is looking good

 

Thanks bro

 

For those who dont follow on IG, ive posted one or all of these

 

Went out for a short photo session with my buddies yesterday. Im enjoying this truck so much more now, idk if its because its bagged or because it had been like 9-10 months since i had driven it

 

So nice lookin man! Those months paid off.

I definitely dig the datsun too, love those 70s 'extra' cabs.

 

Thanks man. And yea i always like seeing the old extended cabs, wish toyota wouldve caught on to that and made it happen back then

 

Riiight? Gosh I would unsavory things for a first gen hilux extended cab haha.

But i do really like the pic of the two next to eachother all raw, primered, dropped, and popping with the dual round headlights. Truly awesome, and puts any car/truck that was 'bought not built' to shame.

 

Waiting for my buddy to send me the pics he got on his camera. He took a good amount of both

 

Nice pictures! There is a 4th gen pickup in the background too

I actually had a 620 before I got my Yota. Both are great! But Datsun’s definitely have more of a following and I felt like getting parts was a little easier.

IMO though, the design on the “Rocket Hilux” (ロケハイ) has crisp lines and overall sharper styling

 

I did notice that 4th gen. It was super clean looking from where i was seeing it.

 

Small update, dropped the truck off at an upholstery shop earlier today. Getting a vinyl bed cover made. Hoping they can have it done before the end of the day, owner of the shop said he was expecting to receive the material early today so we will see how it goes

 

What kind of cover? The snap on button style?
