The Toyota Hiace II are designated by wheelbase as the H11 through H40, where the H11 is the pickup truck and every model beyond is a van.

Around the time I continued modelling the third generation of Hiace circa 2022/03/17, I began on the second generation, having stumbled across brochure pages providing enough reference to measurements for my purposes. I began with the H20, a van, on the early fixtures.

The discovery of those brochures and several resources providing information allowed for quickly established different variants. Or so I thought. Immediately I was able to fix the dimensions (wheelbase, track widths, etcetera) for the H20 and H30, as well as the pickup H11. I set out the file such that the parts were modular so I merely needed to form the difernt rear parts for those wheelbases.

I had completed those variants by 2022/06/20 (working on other details including the stock rims & hubcaps as well as finding an accurate set of the factory paint colours). I would divert onto completing the H11 single cab pickup, and complete most geometry by that day. Eventually by July, I completed most fixtures, and had done the UV layout for the model, so created with factory liveries.

But then things got interesting. I found out that this model of Hiace had received some potentially factory models in Indonesia, as I came across a brochure for a double cab pickup featuring a different body style, one using the entire length of H30 panelling, in a Chevrolet Avalanche sort of manner. This would lead me to learning some Indonesian and researching the scene of these vans in Indonesia. In the meantime, I would end up modelling the factory double cab, although these appear quite rare, so at one point I was tracing the journey of sales of a particular one through Europe.

Having finished all certain factory variants by that July, I also found some odd parts amongst the Indonesian models, one being the double window side door on a yellow H20. The design matched the style of the H40 extension upon the H30 glass work.
