1959 Toyota Landcruiser.
This 1959 Toyota Landcruiser is one of the earliest arrivals
in Australia - Landcruisers first went on sale here in 1958.
The truck was bought by Joe Cunningham and used in
his timber business on Fraser Island, Queensland.
The chassis was lengthened and a tray added.
The vehicle subsequently passed through the hands of
Andy Poston, Ray Downs who replaced the engine, and Trevor Gallagher.
Sid Melksham bough the vehicle in 1994 to use as a rubbish truck
around the Eurong Beach Resort on Fraser Island.
The original engine had the familiar inline six cylinder
configuration, a capacity of 3878cc and delivered 71kW.
When it is rebuilt it is going back in the truck.
