I know you're there!
Okay, I think this is clearly the facelifted version of the Toyota BX. The body is the same but has some minor changes such as the grille/headlight area and the lack of a split windshield. I've tried looking for info on a newer version of the BX but I can't find anything.
Tried reverse-searching in Google but that was the only picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It might have been something that Toyota built under license from another company. That was pretty common practice right after the war. The wheels and rear axle look American.
It looks sorta like a late 1940s rebadged Doge 1.5 ton.

I didn't even know there WERE 1950's JDM Trucks

Post war reconstruction of Japan called for lots of trucks.

Although this has a split windshield, it looks like an FA80. I'm guessing mid '60s.

Welcome to the wonderful world of PJNOEH ( P rehistoric J DM N o O ne's E ver H eard O f). Pictured: a Toyota G1 and a Toyota Model AC.
It's secretly one of my favorite car types.

Here's what is purported to be a '59 FA80 with a one-piece windshield. Could have been an option maybe.

This is really old and I doubt you care much anymore but I know the other guy said it was a Toyota FA80, he’s close but the truck is actually a Toyota DA80, which as far as i can tell is almost identical to the FA80 other than the addition of a “newly developed inline 6-cylinder OHV 5.9-liter 110 hp pre-combustion chamber diesel engine”.
Note: pictured above is a DA60, below is a DA80 without a split windshield.
