datzenmike Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 A 620 'double cab'? We didn't get them in N America but I know of them. The Middle East got them. Here we look in wrecking or scrap yards where old vehicles are 'recycled' and parts taken off and sold. Sorry, I'm not much help. Welcome to Ratsun anyway... Quote Link to comment
baduser Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks for your reply,,, yes we have double cap in here, unfortunately I didn't found same car in our scrap yard. Quote Link to comment

baduser Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 This car is emotionally connected to me so it's a life project 😍 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hey, I've had emotional contacts with all my Datsuns. They were never one night stands. Looks like a long wheelbase frame and a vastly shortened box. Roof is weirdly higher at the back. Does the rear seat sit higher than the fronts? 2 Quote Link to comment
pidge Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 That’s unique. Pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Rear door seals can be made from a set of front door seals by cutting to length and gluing back together with the proper adhesive. Good luck finding any body parts from the front doors back. Maybe Japan would be a good source. I'm pretty sure that body style was available everywhere but North America. This guy has a lot of parts listed for sale, and a lot of them are new original parts. I bet he has a source for the hard to find stuff too - http://www.new-datsun-parts.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment
ducky Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Man I would LOVE a short bed non king cab. That would be so tiny 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 I just picked up a HJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser with a high roof, a bench seat, full float rear axle, and a diesel. Pretty stoked to get my hands on a non US spec Cruiser. I would love to find a 320 series ute or van (wagon). 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 The 320 Vans(V320) are 2 doors, the 4 doors were called 312s(WPL312) and they did not have the NL320 or U320 taillights, they had one of the best grills but I suppose that might be a personal view, others may like one of the four different 320 grills, the 1965 Datsun 320 grill is the closest to the WPL312 grill. There might be a couple V320s in this country, if they are LHD they likely came from Costa Rica or they were some dealer special order. 2 Quote Link to comment
EDM620 Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 2 other possible markets - Mexico and Australia. Hunting in Mexico would take a lot of effort as wreckers may not be on-line. Aussie land also got many bodies that were never imported in North America so you might have better luck there. There are members on Ratsun who may be able to confirm that. The 521 DC looks fantastic and like others have said the roofline on the 620 DC looks a bit odd to us because of the added height. Which engine was used in your truck? 2 Quote Link to comment
