I'm sorry to take over a year to reply, but I have looked EVERYWHERE and found absolutely nothing on it. I think yours and mine are the only 2 left. I did see a picture of one in an old soft top install manual somewhere online... I think it was a suntop? Besides that I have seen absolutely nothing.

At first I kind of hated it, but it has really really grown on me. I found some tan 3m rhino line type stuff that can be painted over, so I'm really going to make an effort to keep this look. Like I mentioned before, I think this is one of 2 Granvilles left... It'd be a mistake not to keep that look now

No, I haven't seen much of anything about them. There was a member on here who supplied me with some info: basically these trucks were bought by the company who made the Toyota Granville RV. sold as a tow-behind (hence the paint scheme, it matched the RV) they came fully loaded with AC and cruise CB radio... the whole deal. Here's a few pics of my rig from the day I bought it, and how it sits now. I was lucky enough to buy mine completely stock from an old man out in the country who just used it on his land. Keep up the good work I really want to see another Granville cleaned up and on the road!
