I looked at a weird vehicle in the summer of 1982. Toyota was going to put out something like the Bronco or Blazer (we didn't know what an SUV was back then). This was a prototype they were thinking about. It was the Toyota pickup, with no wall behind the seats and a rear bench seat and a fiberglass top. One of the welders at BE&K Pine Hill mill project was driving it, and staying at the Bassmaster Inn down there. It was in the parking lot all summer. My recollection is that he had a brother that worked for Toyota, and he was testing it long term. It was, of course, the earliest version of the 4Runner.
