The Publica pickup was a small bonnet-type truck released in October 1969. It used the second-generation Publica (launched in March 1969) as the base model, although its wheelbase and the length were made 120 mm and 190 mm larger, respectively. As a result, the small yet practical truck featured a capacious bed measuring 1,535 mm in length and 1,250 mm in width, without sacrificing the cabin space.

The payload capacity was 500 kg, which was 100 kg larger than that of the previous-generation Publica truck. The engine was a 1-liter water-cooled 4-cylinder unit producing 58 PS (2K), and the transmission was a 4-speed manual. A 1.2-liter 68 PS engine (3K) was added to the engine lineup in January 1972. To comply with the emission and noise standards, a 1.3-liter engine (4K-J) became the standard engine for the Publica pickup. A 5-speed manual transmission was adopted in August 1985, and other upgrades continued to be added until production was discontinued in 1988.
