[AT] little OT; Daihatsu "mini truck"

I have seen a lot of those trucks in Europe, Bermuda, and the Caribbean 
- they can handle narrow winding roads, carry a decent load, park in a 
tiny space, and are very stingy on fuel. It appears that the outfit 
selling the truck on eBay has a source of parts - you might want to 
contact them directly. The only problem I can see is, if the truck is 
"gray market" and has not been certified for US rules (emissions, 
safety, etc.) you might not be able to get road tags for it.
