s13a ◊ 2021-10-19 23:30	I might be wrong in thinking, but I think it might be Hino ZC-Series, based on the bonnet louvres with what looks like square badge next to it. Also specific fenders and door hinges. Problem is, there is very little info about this truck series and this one seems to have headlights mounted higher : Another catalogue showing ZC with higher mounted headlights (like on the subject vehicle), albeit this one has no quarter lights in doors unlike the one above :
Gongora ◊ 2021-10-20 00:25	Well I think we could say that it is a Hino ZC-Series thanks to the documents provided by s13a
Q-Ball ◊ 2021-10-20 15:48	I agree - the ZC-series fits the look entirely.
