Trucks effectively made Datsun in the US and few realize their history goes back to the 1930s. This is an early 60s 320 model and is the one that caught on from a volume perspective. Apparently, the can on this one was extended after the fact, but this modification appears to be so well done as to be convincingly stock.
Overall, this truck appears to be in amazing shape. The seller claims to have a lot of documentation related to the restoration work. The price seems high, so we wonder how much room there is to negotiate. At about half the price, we’d be seriously tempted, even if we tend to hold out for the uber-rare U320 factory extended cab model.

Update: SOLD for $10,125 with 14 bids. Apparently, the market is okay with the extended cab conversion, as that is all the money for a Datsun truck. You could sure spend more trying to restore one to this condition, though.
We haven’t seen one of these early Datsun trucks this clean outside the Nissan Americas lobby and Lane Motor Museum.
Interior is bare bones but in great shape. Column shifted manual is a nice touch!
Clean, clean, clean…
