1985 Toyota Truck, Carpinteria

We don't do a lot of Japanese trucks at AL, but the Toyotas of the day were nimble and sturdy machines, though inclined to rust, especially on the seam along the bed. Not such a problem in Southern California, though. This was a clean machine. Not too good on dating these but I'm guessing '85.
For a Mainer in California this time of year, it's all about the light. Carpinteria, 7am, booming surf, touch of fog, scent of coffee.
