Toyota the first CrewCab?
Introduced in April 1954 as the Toyopet RK 1ΒΌ ton truck, it was larger than the similar Toyota SG light truck but smaller than the Toyota FA medium duty truck.[1] In 1955 it was upgraded to carry 1.5 tons.[2]
The standard body was a 2-door, 3 seater pickup with a separate well body (with a fold down tailgate). Other bodies advertised by Toyota included a van, an ambulance, double cab coupe utility (2-doors, 6 seater, integral well body), drop-side pickup, pickup with stake sides, a pickup with full height metal side with a canvas top, a light bus (precursor to the Coaster) and an ice cream van.[1][2]
