Throwback...

[R Q]

I used to work at Autohaus, (a Porsche, Audi dealer in Charlotte) and the shop truck was this. It was cool little truck. Would be cool to find one.

I have a cousin who let his son's hack up his father's. Roughest part was the floor boards. All original. I couldn't believe it got dismantled and sold.

My grandfather had one. It was the color of butterscotch pudding.

I also had a green 78 king cab with the 5 speed back in the 80’s. Loved that thing. Sold it to buy a new 87 GMC short bed K10. Always thought those Datsun trucks were very stylish looking!

Wonder how many remember mine? 77 or 78, I've forgotten now. Started out white, but after I rolled it, it turned red. After most of the warranty expired, I had it converted to 4 wh dr. And as a few years rolled by, it got lifted, 33'' tires, Buick odd fire 225 V-6, & Muncie 5 speed. I had a LOT of fun in that machine!

Our Dad had a '78(?) Datsun 720... with *automatic* he bought 2nd hand and used for P/U & delivery of OPE...
Also used it to haul firewood from the woods a mile or so home... would load that fawker so full of green hickory (landowner kept the oak) that the axle was on the bumps and the C-rated tires looked flat, pulling his small trailer loaded with rounds too heavy to load in the bed... and we'd laugh our ass' off that it NEVER missed a lick!

Eventually traded-in on an '87 K1500... that the paint delaminated off the hood within 12 months (1st gen galvanized body/primer nightmare)
