I've seen a few on here. Just search "chinook" in topics only and it will bring up some threads. I am thinking there had to be more than 60 made. Also, I'm not sure but I think they were available in '78 & '79 and all of the ones I have seen are originally white.

I’ve got a Datsun 620 chinook with a ka swap and I even did the speed hut gauges on mines with your help.

This is a '78 regular cab. It's red because the owner probably painted it. Note the conversion too perfectly matches the cab. Owner supplied information is often spotty as shown by him not knowing a '78 or '79 apart. That info is obvious at a glance or by looking at the build date on the door jam tag beside the conversion tag.

I see these for sale in canada almost as often as i see normal ones for sale. They all seem to be listed way to high though. Everyone wants 8-10k for their dilapidated camper.

 

Edit: if you looking for more info on these there is another company/version called the little chief.

I hear ya. Probably expensive to begin with and no good for anything but camping, so low mileage.
