This Daihatsu Hijet got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1998 Daihatsu HiJet is a right-hand-drive cab-over fire truck that was imported from Japan to the US by the seller in September 2023. It is finished in red over patterned gray cloth upholstery and is powered by a 659cc inline-three mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes body-color 12″ steel wheels, open-air rear seating, window rain guards, a spotlight, storage compartments, an Osaka Siren loudspeaker, and a cabin heater. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This HiJet fire truck shows 10k kilometers (~6k miles) and is now offered at no reserve in California with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in red with gold decals on the cab doors and features window rain guards, a headache rack, and checker-plate trim on the bed floor. Additional exterior details include an open-air rear bench seat, storage compartments, a spotlight, mud flaps, and dual side mirrors.
Body-color four-lug 12″ steel wheels are mounted with 145-width Bridgestone K305 tires showing 2018 date codes, and a spare is stowed under the rear of the bed. The truck’s suspension consists of independent coilovers up front and a solid rear axle with leaf springs.
The right-hand-drive cab features bucket seats trimmed in patterned gray cloth upholstery, and they are joined by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Rubberized flooring lines the footwells, and appointments include a heater/defroster, crank windows, and an Osaka Siren loudspeaker. Toggle switches for the missing warning lights and water pump remain in place above the glove box door.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 140-km/h speedometer and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows just under 10k kilometers (~6k miles), approximately 30 of which have been added under current ownership.
The 659ci SOHC EF-NS inline-three is located beneath the seats and received an oil change in preparation for the sale. Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
