Description
Rare 1969 ½ model manufacturer in December, 1969. First licensed in California in 1970. Rare round side fender circular reflectors that preceded the rectangular running lights in later models.
I am the second owner. I bought this truck in 1972 with 40k miles. I drove it (mostly freeway) for 200k miles, then replaced the engine with a Japanese surplus engine in 1978. The current engine has 200k miles. The original engine was in good running condition when I replaced it. On that engine I installed a Hooker Header. The original (spare) engine comes with the truck.
Original transmission and differential in good working condition.
Runs great. Meticulously maintained. I have invested over $8k in the restoration: new brake system, tires, upholstery, patina gloss coat restoration, carburetor, etc. Lots of extras, spare wheels, original radio, etc.
Mostly original throughout. Most of the photographs were taken in October at the Route 66 Reunion car show in Ontario, California.
This truck was my first and has much sentimental value. Difficult decision to sell it, but with 6 other pickups it’s time to pass it along to a Datsun lover who will appreciate what I have preserved.
$17k (U.S.)
Redlands, California
