Is there such model as a 79 series? The compliance plate on my dad's truck says 79, however when i was in toyota parts a few weeks ago they said no such thing existed. What's going on? Did we buy a prototype :lol:

BTW it's a 50th annaversary ute.

As far as I'm aware, yep the 79 is the new troopy. My mate just bought one.

Next question, how do the 78 and 79's differ?

The seventy eight is the troopy and the seventy nine is the trayback.
