When I was a little boy my family had a Daihatsu truck. The truck had only three wheels, one in the front and two in the back. There was no steering wheel. It had a motor cycle like handle for steering. There was a driver's cab in the front with a single front wheel sticking out. Very often we had to use a crank to start the engine. It was a truck with half a ton of load capacity. It cost a fortune for my father to get it from Japan. I remember there was only one car and one truck in the entire town we lived in. The car was a beetle owned by the only doctor in town. Then the only truck was owned by us. It was something deep in my memory. Daihatsu is a name with a long history of making small trucks. I think they make very good trucks.
