Great blog!

How do you know the difference between Nissan 80 and 81? Is the Nissan 81 the model with the simplified grill?

[Akira Takizawa]

Nissan 81 had a split front grill to open. So, there was a vertical line at center.

I see a handle on the grill of this truck, is it also a Nissan 81? It was labeled as a 1939 Nissan 80.

It is searchlight vehicle imported from the west.　It would use western truck, but I don't know the model.

Is this related to the Isuzu TU10 (Type 94)?

> Based on the Chiyoda Q?

Type 92 AA Gun Prime Mover was based on Sumida P truck.

>> Type 93 150mm Searchlight Vehicle
> Is this related to the Isuzu TU10 (Type 94)?

It seems based on Type 94. Note that Type 93 is the designation of searchlight. There were several combinations of searchlight and vehicle.

Thank you for clarification!

I found on https://reibert.info/ a Isuzu Type 94(?) with an enclosed cab. Most have a canvas top, so what is this?

[Akira Takizawa]

It is the late version of Type 94. The late version was hard-top.

Ok. One more question for now. The hucks starter was mounted on several different trucks but it is hard to tell them apart. The models I know are

1. Toyota GB
2. Toyota KC
3. Isuzu TX40(wrong model?)

Are there any good photos of these?

[Akira Takizawa]

I don't know. There are photos, but most photos have no information about model.

I upload only photo that the model is certain.
