Fitment on this one is narrow by design: it is matched to the 1972 Toyota Hi-Lux and to the specific transmission your truck was built with, so the figures you work from are Toyota's own for this model year rather than values carried over from an adjacent year of the same pickup.
Trims
- Automatic Trans
- Standard Trans, Trans Mfr CD L40
- Standard Trans, Trans Mfr CD L42
Known issues on the 1972 Hi-Lux. NHTSA lists no recalls for the 1972 Hi-Lux, and no owner complaints or technical service bulletins are on file for the year. That is an absence of federal records for a 1972 model, not a service history for the truck in your driveway.
Three configurations were listed for the year — one automatic and two standard transmissions, separated by their manufacturer codes L40 and L42 — so confirming which one is in your truck before you start is what keeps you on the right set of specifications.
