Datsun “Truckster.” A practical family vehicle?

Here we have someone’s homebrew project, but it’s hard to tell what the project goal was, if there was one.

The seller mentions a swap here and describes the engine in the other car he or she is selling, but never bothers to mention what the powertrain is in this one.  Details are frighteningly scarce with this ad; but, if this is your sort of thing, we imagine you’ll contact the seller for details.  Maybe you’ll get a free Corolla out of the deal?

Riverbank, CA (?)
$10,000

Plenty of clearance?

Watch your head!  Is that a wood dash?!  Luxe!

Sorry, the tiny remaining cargo space is fully occupied by the fuel cell…

What is this engine?  It’s clearly not original to the truck and it’s a Nissan 4-cyl.  KA24??

Up for sale is my beautiful beast, “the truckster”. I’m expecting twins tomorrow so my toy days are over for a while. Also selling my 71 Toyota corolla 2 door wagon with 13b 4 port rotary. Everything is going. Anyways this is highly modified. I’m not listing everything in this post. Please call for more info. I really didn’t want to sell it, but the family is first. I’ve only put about 1000miles on engine and trans since the swap. Runs very well in this 1800lb truck. Xxr rims and tires new. Have a stack of receipts in a folder that add up to what I’m asking, that’s not including the price to buy the truck. New custom gauges from speedhut, never installed.please call Eli @ 209 xxx-xxxx.
