Somebody needs this bulletside Datsun 620. Someone has to appreciate it’s custom looks, high levels of fabrication and sheer magnetism. It’s not for everybody…there is a segment of the population that looks at a rig like this, has an immediate flashback to the bad parts of the 1970s, and stifles a retching motion. But the little Datsun doesn’t deserve the criticism, does it?

Look on the bright sides: first and foremost, thanks to a section from what appears to be a late Seventies Ford cab, this is probably the roomiest Datsun truck on the planet. Running the machine is a “Grand National V6” hooked to a manual trans of some kind. Is the claim legit? Who knows…but if a V6 can fit, so can a V8. You have to want it badly enough. Then there’s the dual-axle treatment. We honestly don’t know what to say about that except…well…it looks well-done.

And it must have been well-done, because this former magazine feature truck is now up for trades only on Craigslist. Got a classic car or a pontoon boat? You’ll be in business!
