The Familia Presto Van continued largely unchanged until the summer of 1978, aside from the 1.3 losing two horsepower along the way. The five-door Van range was gradually expanded downwards as the three-door models dropped in popularity. The Familia Presto Van, with OHC engines, received chassis numbers MP3xV/SP3xV for the 1000 (3-door/5-door) and MT2xV/ST2xV for the 1200. The 1000 Van (Japanese terminology for the station wagon, which was intended for commercial use there) received either BPCV or BPBV chassis codes, signifying three- or five-door versions. All three models were available as either Standard or Deluxe. FA2T55 was a short bed with 500 kg (1,100 lb) max load, 65 was a long bed with the same capacity, while the 66 upped that to 600 kg (1,300 lb). The pickup received the BPB55, BTA55/65, or FA2T55/65/66 model codes respectively when fitted with the OHV 1.0 or 1.2, or the OHC 1.3. In Thailand, a version of the pickup was produced in small numbers until the late 1990s as the Familia Super Cab. In South Africa, the little bakkie was sold as the "Mazda F-1000" or "F-1300". The pickup models were built until 1991 for markets such as South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the Philippines.

A larger 1169 cc straight-four engined version came along in February 1968, becoming the "Mazda 1200" for export. After an April 1970 facelift (called the "Familia Presto" in the domestic Japanese market), the slightly different OHC "PC" 1-liter engine was also offered.
