Fresh out of the container today this 68-72 model Datsun 1300 pickup (521 series) all the way from Australia.

Column change, bench seat. 1 Tonne pickup.

Chassis is solid, needs work on cab. Good project.. have the only one in UK!

Better pics etc in a few days. More of a heads-up at the mo as I wont get the customs documents to enable it to be registered for a while.

But you can reserve it.

Sorry the blue one retrorides.proboards.com/thread/50181/1978-datsun-620-pickup?page=2 wasn't sure if it was your keeper and the thread was a bit old did't want to get people excited over nothing

[datman]

Yes. I have also imported more.

This came over as just a chassis cab, but I sourced a rot-free original pickup bed for it in California and had that shipped over and it is now sat on the truck so it looks a bit better.

Plan on this is to carry on the work to get roadworthy (needs tyres etc and floor welding) and get it MOTd and registered. Cost will go up accordingly. But if you want it as-is and do the rest of the work, give me a shout.

Managed to scrape through an MOT. Is now UK registered. (Age related plate.. G reg)

Sale pending.

[quackshot]

Hasn't this sold yet to Nick?

[datman]

Going to a chap in Suffolk at the weekend (apparently) .

[quackshot]

Keep me posted

[datman]

okay Quackshot, despite the guy from Suffolk ringing on Friday to confirm, absolutely no sign of him on Sunday, I've been waiting 3 hours, no phone call, not answering his phone.. I'd much rather sell to somebody else.

I've put more new parts on this now. It has new brake hoses throughout, new master cylinder, and another new wheel cylinder. (So almost the whole braking system is new including shoes, brake cables, etc) Replaced all the tyres. Rebuilt the dashboard so that the speedo, fuel temp guages all work now, and all the warning lights.

[datman]

Needs to go so its on ebay with no reserve.

Good luck if you decide to throw on a bid.

SOLD to a man in Hertfordshire.
