alleycat Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 so, did the 1976 datsun 620 come with a factory rear bumper? seems alot of the pictures of 620's on here either have no rear bumper, or one of those big heavy step bumpers. Quote Link to comment
Iowa Mark Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 The 1976 620 I bought brand new in 1976 (coincidence?) had no rear bumper. The Dealer did offer to sell me a choice of two different ones, along with a wide range of other options for the truck. Mirrors, mud flaps, seat covers, and maybe three other items that would set my Datsun apart from the rest. I got the bigger mirrors, and made my own trailer hitch/bumper. As I remember, both bumper choices were after market items, as were most of the options. Quote Link to comment
NSRz32 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm pretty sure they still had the bumperettes. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 If I remember correctly, these trucks used to be imported without the bed on them. That way, I believe they could be imported as "automobile parts to be assembled in the USA" and import duties were less on them. And yes there were several options dealers had with them also. The local Datsun dealer even sold "Dump Datsuns" It may also be possible a dealer only ordered a percentage of 620 trucks with bumperettes, knowing that there would be many people wanting a "heavy duty" bumper.
