Where the Hijet Dump fits

Daihatsu has built the Hijet continuously since 1960, and the 1990s trucks use the 659cc EF three-cylinder beneath a cab-over body. What sets the Hijet apart from its rivals is the sheer number of factory configurations: flat bed, panel van, deck van, hydraulic tipper, scissor lift, power-take-off and more all came down the same line. Work specifications were offered with a low-range transfer case and a locking rear differential.

Odometer at 50,163 miles, call it 80,700 km. Daihatsu kei vehicles of this period arrive across a wide band of readings, and this one falls in the middle of it.

Putting it to work

A hydraulic tipper changes what the vehicle is for. Instead of shovelling a load out of a fixed bed you raise the deck and let gravity do it, which turns a two-person job into a one-person one. Daihatsu built these on the production line rather than leaving them to converters, so the pump, ram and bed hinges are matched to the chassis, and the four-wheel drive gets the loaded truck to where the load is needed.

Between $5,000 and $8,000 a factory dump-bodied kei truck is sensibly priced — the hydraulics are the part you are paying for, and a converter would charge most of this band to fit them to a flat-bed afterwards.
