This Isuzu TXD was a very popular truck in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) in the late 1960's to 70's. I have also seen clips of them in South East Asian countries, Thailand, Malaysia etc. Very sturdy and economical, even the mechanics loved them. The 6 cylinder diesel was one of the best engines.
They are still around in Kenya circa 2020 and showing no signs of giving up the host. They are prevalent with construction sites all over the country where they deliver ballast, sand and other construction materials. Most of the earliest colonial schools in Kenya had these ISUZU trucks as their school buses. My former high school had one of those.

I just remembered. When I was training to get my driver's license I trained in one of these ISUZU trucks but in the exam ( the Kenya police) examined us on a Dong Feng truck ( I guess a Chinese truck )
Desde Costa Rica, mi historia con un camión Izuzu, yo aprendí a manejar en uno como este cuando Hera joven tenía 17 años y tengo 66 años un gran camión muy bueno, gracias a Japón por hacer camiones eternos ,,
Tengo uno en pleno 2024 tiene ya algunos años de que no lo arranco pero en esta semana decidí ponerlo de nuevo a caminar a estado mas de 40 años con nosotros
