Great video! Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. I'm restoring a GB122 myself (the long bed version) and this will be a good reference for all the small bits and pieces. I'm also a tall guy myself and it is a real chore to make my 6'4" frame fit comfortably in this thing. My head hits the fabric liner ceiling and my knees almost hit the dash, and they also get in the way when using the turn signal stalk. But it's a small price to pay for enjoying a sweet little truck! P.S. The screw holes on the back of the cabin are actually for pillars across the back glass.
Thanks for the kind words! I owned a Rabbit Pickup once. It was tougher for me than this was I think. But that was a few years ago. Interesting about the screw holes!
Also that heater vent you point at and say that it blows out heat, it does not. ThAt is just a vent for outside air, air gets pulled in from the cowl area and blows fresh outside air in.. heat only comes out at either the feet or defrost not from that vent
I will own this pickup someday. Awesome video and detailed i enjoyed it
Big up, all the way in South Africa. I drive a 87 Nissan 1400 pick up. Though, in SA we refer to them as Bakkies
Thank you so much😂😂
Was struggling so damn much with opening the hood of an older version of this car, you came in clutch. Thanks!

Don't let that small engine fool you. My 1200 does 170kph stock.

Fair enough, some of my other personal older cars are this way. No heat out of face vents.
I've seen one for sale but a dented truck... Anyone know where to get parts
Is this still for sale
It is! You’ll want to go to the website I listed to talk to the owner about it
Datsun 510 is not a sunny it’s a bluebird
This truck is more closely related to the Datsun 1200 we got in the states as well as the b210
You’re right! I realized the mistake after upload. :-/ Thanks for the tip!
