An American LaFrance Pioneer III with the insignia taped over. |

Not a 1975-78 Pioneer III: not due to the unusual square headlamps, but due to the lack of black "bezel" for the signal lamps and to the wrong place of the logo. And above all, this truck doesn't have the "hood" of a Pioneer III. It's more likely a 1972-75 Pioneer II with (also unusual) square headlamps and signal lamps. Note the gray area which could be where the original round headlamps were. (1973 Pioneer II // 1976 Pioneer III) |

- Can these help identify the year? |

Thanks for these pictures. They confirm at least the Pioneer I / II identification, as the Pioneer III "hood" is clearly missing in your 2nd thumb. I'll search a bit more for some details: the 3 slots for the (missing?) wipers could be a clue for a II, but they really seem too centered when compared to "standard" models... By the way, your 4th pic shows a different truck. |

I believe the truck in the 4th picture was from the original Japanese footage of the show. Can that one be identified? |
