On July 14 of the next year, 1943, the Automobile Technology Committee officially decided the specifications of a wartime truck. Based on these specifications, Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. developed the KC truck and used it to replace the KB in November of the same year. To adapt to the steel shortage, the design of the KC truck achieved a saving of around 30 percent (260 to 300 kilograms) in the use of steel material compared to previous trucks.
In response, the executives resolved to restart truck production, and plant production was resumed on August 17[, 1945]. At that time, the wartime specifications curtailing the use of materials had been abolished, and it was decided to produce Model KC trucks to normal specifications.
