1975 Dodge D5N 300

Those Toyota Stouts were everywhere when I was Kid.. But you Never see one today..

My all time fave mini truck.

It shares the same rugged good looks with this dodge.

The panel beating shop I worked in had a Toyota Stout as the run around when parts would not be delivered each day.I found you could forget about 1st gear in it as it was so low you could peak rev it and still walk beside it. But it did a great job and tough as nails

A Lite Stout! My mate in high school, his parents had a caravan park. I stayed over during school holidays. They had 2 of these, one was the rubbish truck. 3 abreast in the front seat, driving to the tip. Mate's older brother was driving and reckoned it beat the world record for gearbox noise! His father bought a shovel nose Corona to get the engine for it. Cranky old Hungarian bloke.

Good memories.

Jarrod.

I had a Lite Stout when I was a Milko in 1974/5.

Noisy as all get out, but it just ran and ran and it was certainly overloaded.

Yes, but I don't think that is correct.  I used angle iron on the top front edge of the battery.

I have it running and drove it out of the shed for the 1st time recently.  Still a few jobs to do before I go for RWC.  $5K in parts doesn't go far.......
