This is a Toyota FQ-15 Military Truck.
It was patterned after the Dodge M37 and manufactured in the 1950's for the
Japan Self Defense force and for the USA Military to use in
Korea and other parts of Asia. They are powered by the same engine that is
used in the Land Cruiser. They came in two basic models.
The FQ-10 and the FQ-15. They had different Wheel base and some
other differences (Details to come later).
This truck had about 300 total miles on it and was set up
as a bomb disposal truck.
After my failure to obtain the vehicle it was crushed for scrap....


The long sought after HQ has been found. This vehicle was recently
imported from Japan after a 10 year quest. It is very rough and will
undergo a restoration. Has 26,000 original KMS (15,000 miles)
Dated 1968 as best as I can tell... Uses Toyota "H" 6 cylinder diesel.
