Definitely a '79 with a pre '78 grill. Dash looks good, they usually crack. Has the tachometer option. Pictures are terrible or the paint/body work is bad. Odometers only go to 99,999 then back to zero so 115,000 or 215,000 for miles.

 

For 10k I would expect a KA 5 speed swap and a long long list of things done and replaced..

You know, it does look strange. A brand new user to sell a truck for ten thousand. Now, some people do join eBay just to sell one expensive item...

 

They really don't know how to market online. Weird font and link to a YouTube video in the description like they copied/pasted it from a different website.

The video is set up like a well-made review of old cars and features this same truck with the same modifications, expect for the Washington to California license plate change.

 

It has an L20b with dual carbs for the engine. Seems to be a lot of work and looks great in the video. It would probably demand $10,000 in California ... if it is legit.

 

Perhaps they bought it out of Vancouver, WA for $6000 and are flipping it for a few thousand in profit. What also seems weird is calling it a daily driver. The guy in the YouTube video does not claim to own the truck. He is simply doing a review and stating that this small truck is comfortable, drives like a sporty car, and 'could be' a good daily driver. Normally someone who spends a lot on a classic car does not daily drive it in California traffic.

I did a quick reverse image search using the pics from the ebay post and classic winners website. What I found were two members from Datsun who used to or currently own the truck.

 

Heres the link from the person who bought the car classic winners washington:

 

And heres the thread from the builder before classic winners:
