Toyota BX
The Toyota BX is a 4,000 kg truck built by Toyota from 1951. It is long, and has a close resemblance to Ford's 1948 trucks. The engines owed much to Chevrolet's inline-sixes of the period. The BX replaced the BM truck, which was introduced in 1947. Compared to the BM, the BX was considerably easier to build and the cabin could seat three rather than two.
