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.

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